No one from GA here? Well if your from South Carolina area then or Jacksonville area I guess you could chime in. Keep in mind I am a big guy 6' 275lbs, chunky but carry my weight well, lol.
 
Anything from a 1.5 mil to a dry suit should be fine. Your stats are pretty much meaningless when it comes to suit thickness. What counts is your own personal tolerance to cold. I use a dry suit for anything under 72 degrees if I'm doing long dives and lots of them. I have done low 60s in a 5 mil with a core warmer and did not like it. My gf dives a dry suit no matter what the water temps. I know of one or two people who dive shorties in 60 degree temps. IMO they are nuts.
