Breathables-
With all due respect to TD, I would ixnay the neo's. Usually your feet are the ones to get the coldest in the winter water (that's on the verge of freezing over) You can keep your legs and upper body warm. Most breathables have neoprene booties. With the wading boots on and the flippers, and your feet being furthest apendage away from the rest of your body, they're going to be the first to give up the ghost.
Breathables are more comfortable, easy to get on and off. You can layer to the season. Neo's are thicker than breathables (naturally) but if you get a good pair, there's no reason you can't use them 4 seasons per year for a long time.
