Welcome Brad, you'll find an incredible amount of wisdom here, both current, and if you search. Headsets have been well discussed.
If I were choosing a noise cancelling headset for myself, I would buy the Bose. But, I have not bought one, I'd rather spend that much money on Gas! I have used most of the different brands of noise cancelling, and the Bose is the only one I like at all. I have a David Clark noise cancelling (which was given to me), and I do not like it at all. That said, every non noise cancelling headset I own is a David Clark, and I would not buy any other brand for "regular" use.
Noise cancelling is nice, but not a got to have for most GA flying.
