In the process or placing my order should I get the orust or the quick neck, both are from silfex.

Also should I get integrated boots or I should sticks to neoprene socks for the drysuit?
 
Reports are the orust is good if you're smaller in stature, as it's more flexible if the harness straps start encroaching. I prefer neoprene socks, but there are proponents on both sides of that topic. I think socks are probably a bit more forgiving size-wise, but boots work great IF they are a good fit. (Socks can be turned inside out to dry.)

Playing it safe is to go with the quick neck?
 
What's your height/weight? Hopefully someone similar will chime in.
 
I have the 1st generation si-tech neck ring system in my drysuit the Neck-Tite. My wife has teh Quick Neck installed in her suit and she likes it a lot. I have not had any problems with mine but I like the increased flexibility that the Quick Neck offers and if I needed a new drysuit I would not hesitate to add a Quick Neck ring system.

For us, the increased flexibility of the O-rust is not worth the hassle of needing to maintain a stash of proprietary clips to hold the system together. Thats not to say its a bad system, I just like the way the Neck-Tite and Quick Neck are engineered to not have little pieces that can break, dislodge, or otherwise get lost.
