You may get a better response in the Wetsuit Forums http://www.scubaboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=30
I just got a Neo-sport 7mm from Scuba-Toys, farmer john 2 piece for about $150. For the price it is great. It is relatively easy to get on and off and seals well against your skin. (Thanks Larry :35: ) They have both mens and womens sizes.

You might want to check out the womens forum and ask before you go shopping.
My dive buddy and I (we are both women) went with the Xcel wetsuits - I got the 9-7-6 semi-dry with hood, and she got the Quad semi-dry with hood. Very comfortable suits and so far they have kept us pretty darn warm while diving in Monterey.
We did end up going for the Men's version of these suits because the women's did not fit us well - we both have pretty broad shoulders and the women's suits judt didn't work out well.

The best suits I have fount are from wetwear in florida.. they make fully custom suits (not cheap) and can also make suits out of g231 rubitex which is nitrogen injected and compresses very little (compared to all the other matreials) with depth.. at 200fsw most of the suit is still there, all the other suits I have tried feel like a skin at that depth..
