It's time for new seals and there's a ton of options. What do you suggest?

I am leaning toward the SI Tech Quick Neck or Orust neck system, and the Rolock 90 kit after @Zef posted on the various cuff systems here.

I've not considered dry gloves yet - mostly dive in Monterey and northern CA. Should I?
 
no opinion on neck seals but the dry glove decision comes down to what thickness wet gloves you use. I have found that 5mm wet gloves are so thick as to be really impractical doing manual manipulations of any kind. My cut line is 3mm glove are better than dry gloves and dry gloves are preferable to 5mm gloves.
 
The RoLock is a really nice dryglove system but if you aren’t going to dry gloves yet just have the si-tech oval system put in and when/if you go to dry gloves they will just pop in once the oval rings are removed.

I would choose the o-rust neck system but only because I’m curious about the flexibility, the quick neck is a very good system.
 
I’ve read that the little clips on the Orust are very fiddly and easy to lose, especially on a boat.

Si Tech 2nd generation is probably your best bet for neck.

For wrist, SiTech oval. Allows you to just have replaceable seals or to add Waterproof Ultima dry gloves if you wish. The oval ring is much less in the way than round ones.
 
Thank you everybody, I came to the realization last night after reading a bit more the Rolock system was simply for the gloves and I had to start out with the SI Tech system.
 
Looking at the SI Tech oval rings, there's the old version of stiff ring and the new version of stiff ring (antares) which do I seek?
