Comanche was pressurized, to allow full filtering of the contaminated outside air to pretect the crew. I believe that the Mil gunships are also protected that way.

I believe the 609 is pressurized, to allow high speed cruise at high altitude.

No pressurization is needed for passenger comfort in helos, since the rotor gives up the ghost long before the passenger's lungs.
