Wetsuits-recommendations and thoughts

After 10 years of surfcasting and an abubdance of waders on the market that don't hold up to to our descipline of fishing I'm thinking of making the jump to a wetsuit this year. I am NOT using the wetsuit for swishing or to swim out to distant rocks (or at least the ones I want to get to aren't too distant) but basically I don't want to worry about taking on water if I wade to deep or get knocked down in the surf.Questions, how thick a suit to fish in New England waters 4,5,6 mm?. 1 piece or 2 piece suit. How much does under arm articulation matter when casting, do you need flexability in the suit for this area. Do you just wear a normal wading boot with korkers or other studded shoe with a wetsuit? Last but not least I don't want to break the bank 250-300.00 at the verymost cheaper if possible. I saw a nice suit on a dive site that once put on comformed to your body and had all the features I questioned. It also cost 500 large a little to much for my budget. Any other info pertaining to suits you can supply me with would be greatly appreciated.
