@DeepSeaPirate , maybe run a check with this little spreadsheet to prove to yourself that you'll have enough buoyancy with your chosen neoprene, using the #18. I think you'll be fine, but if you have values for buoyancy for your suit, it'll prove it to you. Suggest +15# for a 5mm suit in your input section, and +9# for a 3mm if you are an average-sized guy.
