I just started reading Steve Lewis' The Six Skills and Other Discussions: Creative Solutions for Technical Divers.
I'm sure long-time Scubaboard.com members have known how awesome this book is for a long time. Nevertheless, it's all new to me, and I read your question just a few hours after I read his explanation of how to figure out the particular needs for your gear.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must take my new wetsuit, some weights, and a mesh bag to the pool.
