I only dive warm water and feel there is no compelling advantage to diving dry.

I think it is much more expensive than diving a wetsuit.

I cannot afford the intial investment.

I do not want to take a course to get drysuit certified.

I have apprehension about buoyancy problems (e.g. floaty feet).

I heard it is much more difficult to dive wearing a drysuite than a wetsuit.

I heard drysuits requires a lot of maintenance.

I think I would still be cold even if I used a drysuit in cold water.

I am confused by the choices.
