After searching on-line for the ANSI standards and these standards, I'm wondering if it's worth the bother to match them up and just get them. But why don't they don't have any "cool" glasses?

And while I agree about the use of safety glasses, is ANSI the only standard to go by? Can I go with an equal standard?

I am unaware of any other standard that is officially recognized. The OSHA regulations that govern the use and selection of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), explicitly state that protective eyeware must conform to ANSI Z87.1.
1910.133(b)(1)

Protective eye and face devices purchased after July 5, 1994 shall comply with ANSI Z87.1-1989, "American National Standard Practice for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection," which is incorporated by reference as specified in Sec. 1910.6
