The aquaskinz will keep you dry but you have to baby them if you want them to last, especially the neck and wrist gaskets. I look at them as a necessary evil in my fishing gear - I need them for deep wading but I don't wear them unless I have to. Unless your gonna be deep wading and taking waves over the head where you need the dry top for safety and comfort, I would go with a wading jacket instead of a dry top. I really like the simms pac lite (long enough to get a belt over, velco/neopreane sleave closures, packable into its own pocket for carrieng on summer nights). For me, being able to get a belt over my wading jacket is important (it may not be for you) and most wading jackets are very short so that's something to consider when deciding.
