I am looking at TYR's Aquablade with the "tripwires" that create drag to remove different kinds of drags. Fastskin II's which strategically place dimples to redirect eddies and flow, Arena's Powerskin with the light and slippery, water-resistant, superhero fabric and one or two other brands.
The statistics stating that the most gold medal winners wore Speedo fastskins doesn't hold water. (get it? Pun intended.) If Speedo paid Phelps 100 million dollars to wear a dead cow around his neck and swim, he would have. And if they paid him 100 million more he would have won too.
USMS has an article saying speedsuits are primarily psychological.
Are any of you satisfied with your speedsuits? Have you tried several brands? What's your take?
Right now I have been very happy with TYR's quality over that off Speedo. I am wearing a TYR fusion and it feels fast and is extremely durable. now wear TYR suits but Speedo gogles

The bottom line (no pun intended) let's keep the traditional Racer briefs as "standard equipment". They are the most comfortable to wear in the water too.
Judging from this photo of Geek at the Charlotte meet last year, I'd say he agrees:
