....which leads me to another question, I am swimming with a buoy all the time right now because of a recent acl surgery, and am swimming times close to before when I would kick, is that kind of like an equalizer?

Depends on what your race goals are!
An assumption on this forum seems to be that we should do whatever is necessary to make us faster.
However, if your goal is not speed, but comfort and a good time - then base your decision on how warm/cold you want to be and whether you are more comfortable in a wetsuit or out.
Even with a well-fitting wetsuit (a new thing for me) I still feel a lot more comfortable without one. Without it, I experience the water a lot more directly. It is like a wilderness experience. Except for the thrashing people all around. The only race I intend use the wetsuit for this year is Alcatraz, plus any others where the water is below 62 degrees or so.

I will be using a suit for the first time in April. I guess from these posts I should use the body glide stuff?

Body glide on neck is my recommendation...but even without it, you'll live....
