For a neoprene suit Seaskin or O3 are hard to beat. Custom suit for about 1k.
Best bang for the Buck Drysuit...

For pure value, it's tough to beat the Sopras Sub trilam suit that Dixie Divers sells.They retail it for under $750USD. I found a nearly new one for less than half the price and put SiTech neck and wrist seals in it and out performs my custom DUI at a mere fraction of the price.

Seaskin or O3.

You jest...but I actually found this very thing once. The zipper had gone unlubricated for years and was toast, but otherwise, it was in primo condition, and I got it for 1/6 the retail price.
You are going to get lots of opinions but fit, fit and fit are the most important criteria.
Seaskin seems to be the best bang for the buck I've seen.
The least expensive O3 is 725 pounds. The Seaskin neoprene suit is 426 pounds.
When the OP is asking for best bang for the buck, it doesn't seem to me that O3 comes close to Seaskin.
Personally, I would (and did) spend a bit extra for the Seaskin trilam (which I have ordered but am still awaiting delivery). I've had compressed neoprene and trilam suits and I'll be sticking with trilam in the future. My local diving is normally around 40F on the bottom and trilam works just fine for me.

Thanks for all the information I'm trying to get a hold of them(03). Any suggestions on good way to contact them

If you're talking about Seaskin, I have emailed them in the past (before I ordered) and always gotten a response - but usually taking a day or two.
There is also a phone number on their website.

Seaskin for the best price, full custom fit, fully loaded it will cost less than most used suits.
