Here is some more food for your thinking:
When I was new to dry suit life, I bought rock boots. This was not done with a great deal of thought. I pretty much thought it was the thing to do.
I wanted to get SP Jets, but my rock boots fell into the great AP Jet gap, that brilliant, 40-year old design that made one of the most common male foot sizes (in rock boots) a Jet no mans land--too big for one size, but too small for the next size up.
I bought Turtle fins instead.
In time, my thinking changed, and I now would prefer to have either integrated boots or simple wet boots in place of the rock boots. I will be making that decision before too long, as my rock boots are starting to show their age and will not last forever.
If I change my boot style, though, I will have to change my fins, too. If I had not gone with rock boots in the first place, I could have had SP jets. If I had not bought the rock boots in the first place, I would have fins that are fine for all my diving.
