Which OW event would you prefer

I'd have to choose the warmer water. I suffer from cold in general, and cold water in particular. I'm lucky to live in Israel where water temps in the mediterranean allow me to swim April through November without a wetsuit. This year I bought a wetsuit so I can swim through our winter. Can EVERYONE acclimatize to cold water? Is it only a mind thing?? In temps that to others are comfortable, I shiver, and following my last sea swims last winter, it would take me 1-2 hours to get warm again.
