Either should be fine if one dresses appropriately. I've personally found the crotch seams a bit more durable on well made neoprenes. Just be sure there is ample room and a relatively loose fit to reduce stress in critical areas. Such that one can put one foot up on the store counter and not sense any stress at all in his/her butt, crotch, or knee areas. Obviously one also wants the sides literally up into his armpits.
If one is indeed a serious fisherman, there are no waders available that will last a lifetime. UV light, abrasion, and a simple wearing out of the boots or feet do mine in by the tail end of their third year. Some of my trips last for 11 or 12 days at a time though, I do try to conserve them by wearing other togs when making extended hikes to primo runs.
