I can't help you with shops in NJ, but here in MD I ended up going to 2 different shops. It seems like most shops around here carry a couple brands so if you want to try on multiple ones you may have to venture to different stores. The ones around here are pretty small too since it's not a place you can do any SCUBA so it's (obviously) not like the huge ones down in Florida or something.I recently received my OW certification and am interested in purchasing my own wetsuit and possibly, BCD next. Can anyone recommend any shops in the central NJ or NYC area with a really good selection to help me find a good fitting, comfortable suit?

I noticed it too for the dive computers. The one I got my wetsuit from only carried Aqualung computers.
I would definitely recommend trying them on too and not straight up order online. They all fit differently. I even tried on 2 Henderson ones that were different lines, in large, and one of them was way too tight where XL of that model fit me better, but I ended up getting a large in the Thermaxx line.
For some reason too, Thermaxx can't be purchased anywhere online. I also noticed that prices in store were comparable to what I saw prices at Leisure Pro for too.
