I'm trying to decide between two suits...
Akona 7mm Titanium fullsuit
Titanium
Extra Stretchy

or
Akona two piece 6.5mm suit.
Not Titanium

I'll be doing some colder quarry dives in march(missouri)
and
Some atlantic dives in June.

I'm 6' 200lbs and I put off a good amount of heat.

Or is there something else I should consider?
My Akona shorty has served me well, and I'm happy with the quality.
 
I'd go with the 2 piece they are more versatile. It gives you 2 layers on your torso for colder dives. If the full suit is to warm you can just use the top. A hooded vest under the 1 piece is an option also (Bare has a nice one). Good Luck.

I have felt more comfortable in the one piece. If I need extra layers, I would add a hooded vest (ScubaPro S-Tek in my case).
 
Two piece for versatility makes sense, but I prefer the flexibility of the one piece jumpsuit. Less rubber around your midsection, less buoyant. If you already have a shorty for warmer conditions, go with the one piece.
