A cap under your helmet Will cut out most of the rain from getting on your glasses.

As for lenses, I usually use a half tint, so the tops of my lenses are lightly tinted and the bottom half is clear, not very noticeably but I find it's best for changing light conditions.
 
Its a while since I've used anything other than my prescription reactolites but iirc when I've cycled with contacts and shades at night I'd use either the clear or the yellow lenses. I think I tended to use the clear when there was absolutely no light and yellow when there was street light.

sorry people but yellow lenses dont cut out glare, thats a bit of a misnomer. They do however improve contrast, so that in dull conditions they can be useful. The other thing that yellow lenses do is reduce the amount of light that enters your eyes probably by about 10-15% depending on the depth of the yellow tint. You are much better off using clear lenses - this allows the most of light into your eyes and a consequence is you see bettter at night. strange that!!!
