If it's feasible, it would probably be best to go to the Leisure Pro shop in person. There you can try on all of the gear you're considering to see what works, and if there are elements of the packages you want to change out for fit/quality reasons, they will more than likely do that for you. In fact, I've found many items, especially ones that would be expensive to ship, tend to be a little less in the store. Also, while their phone sales staff tends to be more business oriented, they do have some very helpful helpful and experienced sales staff in store. One woman spent hours with my girlfriend and I while we tried on dozens of hoods, boots, gloves, etc recently, and was extremely helpful. The only problem is that it takes a long time to "bring up" equipment to try on, as it's kept in the basement of the building, and some, especially clearance items, are not available to try on at all if they're in their warehouse.
I know there's a big debate in the scuba community (and this thread, it seems) about online retailers vs. LDS. I can see the arguments of both sides. I'm very fond of my LDS, and would even be willing to pay a little more to support them. But for me, the limited product lines they carry combined with prices that are (I would hope) negotiation starting-points makes it a less than ideal experience to explore options. I plan to get any regularly service items, especially regulators, at my LDS, but for exposure protection I've been getting pretty much everything online.
For me, LeisurePro has been great, because shipping is quick, returns have been easy, and the in-store option is a good one. I imagine which larger, online-friendly retailer you pick is largely a geographic issue. On the west coast, I'd probably order more from Scuba.com. My experiences there have been good, but the shipping takes a week, so an exchange process would take the better part of month for me. Likewise, if you're closer to Texas, or Florida, both ScubaToys and Dolphin Scuba have gotten good reviews from people, though I don't have experience with those shops personally. I guess my point is that the LDS/Online dichotomy is not as clear as it first seems. I think of most of the better online retailers more as "Regional" dive shops. That being said, service is very important regardless of where you buy, so if you're not impressed, look elsewhere.
As for specific equipment recommendations, I can second the Pinnacle 7mm Cruiser suit as a good option. Both LeisurePro and Scuba.com have been clearing those out at $150, so there may be a little wiggle room on prices of places that still have your size in stock. If you do decide to go with one of those NeoSport packages, be aware that the included Blue Reef hood is not vented, so you may inflate a little bit on the way to the surface if you're not careful!
