I use a Poseiden Neoprene suit. 
My logic was to consider all the possibilities that could occur. Suit 
flooding not only is a distinct possibility I know of two divers who were 
forced to make the decision to surface and omit some srious 
decompression stops because they were seriously 
scared they were going hypothermic and about to drop off the deco line.
A shell suit when flooded i basically a BAGGIE. Yes thinsulate helps 
some, but imagine the same situation with a neoprene suit and thinsulate. 
Which would you rather have?
Also, the neoprene suit (in my case) was cheaper than a comparable 
quailty shell suit. Can't figure out why .
