Jammer-Kneeskin-Bodyskin - what's best?

Back in the day it was just a plain brief papersuit for races. Now that I started swimming again there is a whole new breed of racing suits. I will be swimming ***, Back, Free and IM. I've heard the above mentioned suits are not good for *** stroke because they inhibit the kick. I have 2 questions..... 1) What are your experiences with Jammer-Kneeskin-Bodyskin suits and what strokes go well with what suit? 2) Are racing briefs long gone? Thanks for your input.

    go down. When I bought mine, I was around a 34, now I'm a 32. One suit is for a 32-34, and I easily could've gone down to a 30. My teammate chastised me for not getting a 28; I should've known that I was going to continue to lose weight. Oh well... My leggers are a 34; but it was the only size available on super-duper-uber special ($40 including shipping and tax!!). By the time I bought it, I was a 32; ideally I should have bought a 30. But I also can't stand feeling too restricted. For me it's not worth the nano-second I would gain (or lose?).
