My wife and I both love our Henderson suits. We have both the Hyperstretch and the gold core and they are very comfortable. My only knock on the hyperstretch is that it is more prone to pilling and scuffing due to the lycra mix. Also, they will wear out very quickly in pools. We know an instructor who had one disintegrate on him in about a year.

Boy, that's not very good mileage.
We tried out some Scuba Max suits for commercial seafood harvesting, they're on their 3rd year now & holding up really well.
Their version of the stretchy material is called "superstretch" or something, the suits cost almost half of the high price brand name jobbies.
We pretty much look at suits as being "disposable" so price was a major consideration. We lucked out though it looks like.
 
Regardless of some of the reports I've read about Hyperstretch suits, my seams seem to be doing very well and I like the Aquasuede chest. The suit is really prone to velcro snags from my BC, though...
