It truly is a matter of personal preference. If one chooses neoprene then they ought to obtain their measurements while wearing their heavier or thickest underwear. The only real downside to neoprene is that its buoyancy characteristics change with pressure differences, but that shouldn't really matter in regards to its insulating value because you should be dressed for the water temp anyway. One major upside to a neoprene suit is that it is not baggy and is also very easy to repair and that also makes it cost less to have done. They are more buoyant but a lot of them are made from 1/8 inch neoprene instead of 1/4 inch so they are less buoyant than one would immediately think. Besides if you are in shape, which you ought to be for tech diving, then you shouldn't need much weight anyway. It isn't hard to compensate for the buoyancy from neoprene dry suits.
