Please help choose a triathlon wet suit!?

I'm looking to do my second triathlon here in a couple of months and am having a hard time picking out a good wetsuit. I want something that will last, as I planning on doing many more, but don't want to spend a ton of money at this time. I plan on doing sprints, never to exceed 1/2 mi ocean swim. Swimming is my weakest leg, so I want something with great buoyancy and will help out as much as possible. Please help with choosing from the following: (open to better suggestions)

Orca Apex 2 2008 (CLEARANCE) for $398USD
Zoot Sports Fuzion FS WetZoot 2009
Orca Men's Sonar
Orca Men's Equip.

Thanks!!

You seem to have a pretty good handle on what you need already. Clearly you need buoyancy especially in the legs and lots of flexibility in the shoulders.

I don't know what it is like in the US, but in the UK you can get some great deals on hiring suits and maybe you could try out a few suits before you buy.

The Gift of Sports Apparel Will Help You Score Big This Christmas

Christmas is coming, and that means it's time to start going through your written and mental Christmas lists to see who wants what for this holiday season. For girls, items like Polly Pocket, Barbie and all things Hannah Montana are a must. For the boys, legos, K'nex and character toys have never lost their appeal. But for the big boys and girls, and even the kids who are very much interested in sports, there's only one thing to look for when it comes to picking out Christmas presents: sports apparel.

The great thing about sports apparel is that most apparel items are equal opportunity. There is no discrimination based on size, age or even gender. You'll find articles of sports-related clothing that is perfect for newborn babies, just as you'll find t-shirts and long-sleeved shirts that will be great for a child of school age. For adults, both men and women, sports apparel in the form of NFL jerseys or even NBA jerseys is always the perfect gift.

You know what else is great about sports apparel? It's always available. You can shop for it any time of the year, at stores, online, even directly from stadiums and those sports teams that have fundraisers and run their own online websites and shops.

If you plan on shopping for sports apparel, keep the following tips in mind:

First, consider the person you are buying for. Know their preferred team! There's no point in buying them NFL jerseys that depict the Philadelphia Eagles if their Pennsylvania team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, know their size. If you're unsure, guess, and buy a size large. It's always better to go too big than too small. Kids will eventually grow into larger clothing sizes, and adults can wear layers, or just have a baggy shirt that is comfortable to lounge about in.

Second, try and shop in between seasons. Common sense dictates that if it's the height of the football season, then you're going to pay top dollar for any sports apparel related to football. In addition to shopping in between season, hit up the offline and online sale and clearance racks to see what kind of interesting finds there may be to have.

Third and finally, shop around. Don't purchase sports apparel from the first company you come across. You may be able to find a better deal, or simply a better quality material, at another store or online website.
