Hi, Ken --
Certainly the thicker neoprene glove will be warmer, but sacrifice some *feel*
for the paddle. I doubt a 2mm neoprene glove will be sufficient for 35F when
wet and in any wind (especially when frostbiting).  Again, if your frostbiting
activities have you clutching rough sheets you will want to be sure the palms
have a coating to prevent them from wearing out too soon.
The Paint stripping gloves over fleece liners sound like maybe not enough
warmth, but for 79 cents, give it a try and give us a report.
