Jim;
I only use a wetsuit if I'm going to be in the water a lot, mainly because it is overkill for a lot of my spots, and I find not as comfortable walking around when you are dry (chaffing!)

I bought a 3mm suit, which is fine for Rhody from late May through Oct. If it is cold, I add a 1mm top under my suit, AND wear one of my dry-tops, mainly to block the wind. Since I'm usually on the sand, I wear 1mm neprene socks, with 3mm diving booties with a rubber sole. If it is really cold, I wear a pair of wool sucks under the 1mm neoprene. makes a big difference

Opt for a suit with 'stretchy' neoprene (there's a name for it) around the shoulders; better suits have it for paddling out to waves, but it makes casting less tiresome. I have a rip curl. no major complaints.
