If I'm not mistaken, your B12 came with decently aero wheels, as stock wheels go... so I'd say helmet.  Somewhat disconcerting about Aaron's helmets being less Aero... I thought dropping money there was a sure thing

I've read many posts/blogs by John Cobb, SuperDave, A Coggan, Tom and others in which basically the benefits of an aero helmet over a regular one are considerably as long as it complements your bike position. Even when riding with the tail up in some instances the drag numbers are better than riding a regular helmet. While there might be some aero helmets that benefit your position more than others I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you have one you should be ok.
