OK...
I'm going to chime in from the other end...
I use a wetsuit probably 10-20% of the time... I rarely swim far out to other rocks or ledges, but what I do use if for is in rough water in some of the shallow spots I fish... lets me wade alot farther comfortably then with waders, and if I take waves over my head, no biggie... so for me its more a safety thing...
as far as a suit... I have a ripcurl 3/2 with the 2mm being the hyper stretch or whatever they call it... good to ~55deg water... when it is cold I add a 1mm top under my suit, and wear extra booties.. as it is I use 2mm bootties with a 3mm pair of boots.. when I need korkers I use wading books with korkers strapped on...
if it gets real cold, wear a wool (100% wool) sweater under it all.. it gets wet but keeps you warm... picked that up from a M native living in Rhody now...
