Probably the most durable suit is crushed neoprene but I wouldn't use 
durability as the only measure of a drysuit's worth.  You need to look at 
what you are using it for and what other features are desirable.  i.e. 
ease of repair, ease of donning/removal, weight, inherent insulationand 
buoyancy, color ;), how fast it dries, do you want pockets,knee pads etc.
Good luck picking a suit.
