Vulcanized suits would be my choice for several reasons
They are easier to decontaminate and clean, easy to field repair, extremely durable; permeability tests have been performed on the materials and are readily available as a reference for exposure limits
Currently we are using the Viking and Gates 1000 gram suits, no significant problems with either brand. The only repairs we have run into are replacement of the Latex seals so far Pretty resistant to leaking and abrasion
Viking = established, safe, comfortable, several material weights to chose from (they are currently the only one offering a stretching vulcanized material offers the comfort and flexibility of normal neoprene suits)
They are also going to be one of the most expensive suits out there
Hunter (formerly Gates) offers some great suits at a more affordable cost, they one of the most often used commercial suits, also available in a couple different material weight options
Amron offers two weights of vulcanized suits also, pretty good prices as well
I would also recommend talking to Bob3 and seeing what type of group deal you can wrangle
Good luck,
Jeff
