I used my 3/2 with a 3mm hood to snorkel with the manatees there last Feb on a cold and overcast day and was pretty chilled after 30 mins.....it was a very "non-active" kind of dive with lots of floating motionless while watching the manatees. I had just returned from a Bahamas live-aboard with similar temps (around 72-74) and found the 3/2 to be a bit chilly after a few days. My 7/5 was too HOT for those temps but the 3/2 with a hooded vest was PERFECT.....so, I think for a recommendation I would go with the 5/4....should be warm enough, and if too hot you can always vent it with cool water.....think the 7mm would be overkill.
My two cents.
Have fun!!
