I have Weezle Extreme and DUI. Weezle is VERY warm, easily washable (unlike DUI), and keeps you warm even when wet. I had a very leaky dive - ended up with about a quart of water in each foot at end of dive - and never felt cold or wet in the Weezle (water T in upper 30's).
Weezle definitely makes it harder to vent (DUI TLS350, upper arm). The outer Weezle material is windproof and is very thin. It seems to suck up to the valve and prevent venting.
Uncle Pug's solution works - burn holes in the outer shell beneath the valve location. Another option mentioned - glue/sew stiffer material to the arm surface below valve to prevent the sealing.
My vote - after fixing the venting problem - is Weezle.

I couldn't agree more! The Andy's ST1000 is crazy comfortable and very warm for such a light and stretchy suit. Great undersuit!

In regards to the weezle choking the vent. Installing a few hollow rivets where the valve is located should fix that easily. That is what the bare suits use I believe.
To curb an out of control ascent quickly, stick a finger in your neck or wrist seal and pull it open. You will get wet, but it will stop the problem fast (hopefully your BCD isn't the problem).

That might work, indeed...
I'd prefer a drysuit undersuit work without modification...
