I'm assuming we're talking road biking here. Generally, I like something like this:
I like the glasses based mirrors. Once you get used to it and adjusted, it's just a quick glance with your eye/angle your head and you have a full view of what's behind you. I feel naked riding with out it now.

(note - I don't road bike, and if I did I'd probably be tempted to have a mirror)

I just turn my head. I think having a mirror would be a bigger distraction for me especially if it's hanging off my sun glasses.
I use the one marcski recommended. You can buy it here or in some bike shops.

It gives a great field of view and it isn't heavy . No problem attaching it to my Rudy Project bike glasses. I wouldn't ride without it. I guess I'm a Fred.
Get the original model, the compact is too short and it's difficult to adjust.

I use the same one, too. I like to constantly monitor the traffic situation behind me, especially when riding solo. Situations often come up that require an immediate reaction...at those times I don't want to have to take the time to turn my head to determine what my options are.
If that makes me a Fred, then "Yabba Dabba Do!"
