I use the diving concepts gloves. very warm and easy installation. I have latex wrist seals. My buddy dives a viking and has neoprene seals as he is alegic to latex. He also uses the same gloves with great success.

Are you going to be using with or without rings?
My personal favorite non-ring for cold water are the 3-finger Endurotech Kevlar mitts:
The cuff on the critters is worn tucked inside the mitt, they usually seal off on the suit's cuff well enough so that just a spoon full of water sneaks in.
They're good for 4 hrs in 28°F water.
5-finger gloves w/ internal cuffs are available too:
For ice diving over an hour or 2 there are better choices though, like the 3-finger.
The "Blue Smurf" with knit yellow liners are good with ring systems but do not handle abuse well.
