Raincoat vs. Rain "suit"

So it rains a lot here. Like, a lot a lot. Lot here should be spelled OMGRAIN, but I've left it as-is for clarity.

Anyway.

Because of the OMGRAIN that it rains here, I've been thinking about buying a raincoat. I waterproofed both my jackets and all three of my hats before I left, but that hasn't been enough, as the rain does eventually get through and neglected to waterproof my pants.

Again, no jokes please.

I understand that my options are as follows:
  • $1 raincoat from the 百円 shop (dollar store)
  • $40 two-piece rain suit consisting of full-length pants and a jacket.
  • $70 version of the above, with better seamwork, more pockets, a better-constructed hood, and OMGREEN*. Oh, and it looks much better on me. And, for some reason, zips into a lifejacket, if you want it to.
    • Hell, they're only $30, and you never know when your apartment might flood due to OMGRAIN rain.
Comments would be appreciated here, as I'm in a bit of a quandary at this point.
OMGREEN
is a special color. It is defined as "Green enough that I like it, and on something cool".

I'm currently leaning towards the green one, if you can't tell.
Again, comments please!

Go for the green one! It sounds better in all ways...other than a bit more of cost, but it sounds like the value definitely outweighs the expense in every way. Besides, it is green.

Go for style -

It'll last too. And lifejackets can be handy, you know, for tsunamis and what not.

I like the idea of the OMGREEN ones even though they're more expensive.

I'm agreeing with Jes here, though mainly because 'OMGREEN' and 'OMGRAIN' match just so perfectly.

Okay, so three votes for the expensive one, none for anything else?

I bought the green one. I'll see about having Sara take some pictures of me wearing the whole thing later.
