I've gone for a 5/3 Ripcurl Raptor (Viper core) Slickskin. This is fine so far in the water. really warm & comes with the back panel/neck guard which stops the drips down the back. Cost £160 GBP in the UK.
A friend bought the 5/3 Ripcurl Fireskin (cost £60 more) and is over the moon with it.
5/3 seems to give the right amount of flexibility for boarding.
