LiveSteam has those gutter helmets on his house and a bunch of acorns and crap still worked their way into them over time, and they were a monumental pain in the ass to clean out. Wouldn't waste my money on them. There are also the screen type that probably work better but if you have a pine tree near your house they will still get clogged with needles. I just went with the oversize gutters and downspouts but I still have to babysit them in the rainy season. I think the best option is to just cut down every tree within 50 feet of your house.
