        Usually the neoprene goes over the drytop.

        Goes the other way around -- the sprayskirt seals to the drytop.
Many if not most such garments have a "tunnel" arrangement; the skirt goes
onto the drytop, then a flap of the drytop goes over the skirt to shed
water.  Usually works well.

        Was at the Museum of the American Indian in NYC the other day ...
There was an Inuit Parka that was also the sprayskirt; it just splayed out
around the bottom like a hoopskirt.  I'd hate to make a wet exit with that
combination.
