I don't think there's any reason not to do both but on breathables I've almost always done the inside only. I find with the right repair product and a clean application it takes to the waders in a VERY permenant way.

Aquaseal and also a newer product called Loon UV Wader patch have always worked for me.

I have seen a few pairs of waders, my Simms being one of them, where the outside of the wader was much less receptive to glue then the inside. Maybe because of the tough nylon on the outside, I'm not sure. I think when they're new they have some sort of water repellant on them as well and I would think that would create issues as well for some glues as far as getting a good bonds. Old style canvas waders or neoprene that are the same inside and out you might as well do both for extra peace of mind.
