Randy, if I was voting I would vote for a Bayley Dry Suit. This suit is the most comfortable Dry Suit I have ever used. It's made from a high density closed cell neoprene. The suits are all custom, the neck seal is the right size to start with and the boots are the right size( so you don't have to go to a bigger fin size). The suit fits like a wet suit and doesn't need allot of underwear(I used the same amount of weight for my Bayley as I do for my wet suit).The suit has neoprene seals, that work, and it swim's great(not allot of drag, like the shell suits have).
What ever suit you get, you need to get some training in it before you go into the ocean.
If you have never used one before the Dry suit is a completely different animal then a wet suit.
You need some water time so you work with the valves and figure out your bouyancy. In fact I don't think I would buy a suit unless I could try it out in a pool first.

Good Luck
