There's too many choices, it'd be nice if ya'l could give me some feedback on what you have to help me narrow down my choices.

I have the 1pc Sparco Jade 2 and love it. Quality and feel is excellent for a price point of $270 msrp, I'm sure if you search around you can find it a little cheaper. The other brand that I really looked into was Crow Enterprizes, it also had excellent quality and feel with the same price point. Only reason why I went with Sparco over Crow was because I was able to get a great package deal for suit, shoes, and gloves for an undisclosed price. Other brands that I also checked out with similar price points were Simpson, RJS, and GForce but didn't like their material, felt harder/stiffer to me. Simpson was the softest of the three. Each brand, of course, has higher quality suits for a higher price point. But for being on a budget, IMO I got the best bang for the buck.

I have a Simpson 2 layer 2 piece, the ability to take off the jacket in the heat and not have to deal with the top half wrapped around my waist is awesome.

Sparco X-Light 2-pc, SFI-15, so it's alcohol/ethanol compliant. Some of the lightest sfi-15 gear out. Very comfortable.

Fuel type used, and budget is going to narrow things down a good bit.

Definitely.

I bought my -20 suit from good vibrations on sale as it was only a year out from needing to be re-certified. Paid less than a new -15 so I went with that, otherwise pumpking is right on

My car runs on gasoline with it's regular 10/15% ethanol content so I don't need to worry about that.
