I've used both Mares and Hollis F2s with my drysuit without any issues.
F2’s? I abandoned them for warm water diving because although they have great maneuverability, I couldn’t generate any power. With all of the bulk of a drysuit, they would not be my choice

Mine is called F1 Lt(light). Looks like F1. f2 are totally different
 
They are quite similar to F1, a bit shorter and sensibly lighter.
Having no chance to try them, I cannot say if they have the same stiffness than the F1, I think this is the characteristic more accountable for thrust.
Enjoy your new fin!
 
I had the same issue when I went to rockboots. I got a pair of scuba pro jet fins one size larger. Apollo spilt fins worked well as did the Mares Avanti Quattro open heel fin.
 
I was using xDeep EX1 mediums but the rock boots were a little large. Mares PowerPlana were wayyy too foot heavy with spring straps. The Hollis F1s were foot heavy even thought they had the most power. Then I went to RK3HD which I found were not quite heavy enough. Also after using a few fins on the same day, realized how excellent they were for precision but really lacked power. Then I went to SP Jet fins which I really like. I was thinking of trying the Fourth element tech version, but would prefer to try before I buy but I know how difficult that is to do.
