I train in Speedo briefs but find that after about 2 to 3 months they start to get threadbare. Have considered buying a size up so that there won't be so much tension on the fabric and, therefore, hopefully won't deteriorate so quickly. What does everyone else train in?

It's not the suit size that is causing your problem - it's the fabric. You are probably wearing a suit that contains lycra or spandex. These fibers deteriorate in chlorine; three months is about all I can get from a suit that contains lycra.
What you want is a suit made of 100% polyester. It will last at least a year in chlorinated water.
