We almost all use Weezil extreme undersuits now - we dive all year 
round in water that  between 4 - 11 deg c and have found them the 
warmest option. They allow more freedom of movement than most other 
undersuits as you don't wear any layers underneath them (ok it took a 
while to convince me I'd be warmer this way)  
I managed to get a reasonably major suit flood in March, and still 
managed the 15 minutes of stops without being too cold. From memory I 
think they cost around �140 ukp
