This is a taste thing if you ask me. I personally like a nice flexible brushed lycra. Maximum comfort and breathability. But you have to accept getting wet. Which I dont mind. So long as its not silly cold, my effort will warm the moisture. I find the waterproof stuff less warm, and less comfortable.
But if its under 5C out, its best to aviod getting wet. So for uber cold stuff I have PI Amfib bib-tights. Which are really water/windproof, with a subsequent reduction in flexibility, and breathability.
This is why I'm going for the merino knee, and arm warmers. They wont protect me in the slightest against wind or rain. But I'll still be warm in them even when wet. So for me they offer a broader usage range.
