Just my own experience here, but I roast in a drysuit (Gore-Tex or not) when the temps are above the lower sixties. (Thankfully I live in a place where it doesn't often get much warmer than that!) When the weather gets warm, but the water is still cold, I often just go with my "Farmer Brown" wetsuit. The water conditions also play a part in my choice of apparel - if it's windy and choppy I might opt for the drysuit - especially if the water is cold - simply because of the greater likelihood of taking an unplanned swim.
