It depends a bit on how long your commute is, if it's short you can get away with wearing the same bibs for longer. My approach so far has been non-padded tights that go over regular bibs so even if you're putting them on after work and they're still wet from the morning commute it's not too gross cos it's the tights that get wet. Also this way I don't need particularly good bibs and can wear ones with rips or holes in. I have 2 long sleeve winter jerseys and a thick waterproof jacket, I just wear one of those with a baselayer depending on if it's raining and if it's really cold put a gillet over the top. Don't forget some proper waterproof overshoes too because even if you've got spare socks in your bag, putting on wet shoes always sucks.
For bang per buck it's hard to beat Altura and DHB.
