Everybody just mentions what they dive. Most have only dived/owned a limited number of suits, so getting objective opinions are hard. I understand that I'm actually not helping But I'm refusing to mention the 6 different suits I've dived over the years.
I would look at material (strong trilaminate with protections, or crushed neoprene), making sure that the fit is good (you need to retain good mobility), zips can be plastic or metal, I've used both with good and not so good success. Look also at availability (living in Australia, having to ship something back because of warranty could be a hassle). If you are saying really sump diving (crawling crawling, sidemount, sharp rocks all the time) maybe also look at your local cave/sump diving colleagues?
