I haven't tried the non-breathable, but I have worn other non-breathable stuff (regular rain jackets) and the vented stuff is well worth it.
Honestly, if it's warm (like, > 70 degrees) I prefer to just get wet, but if getting wet bothered me this rain jacket would be fine. I only really wear the rain jacket to keep from getting COLD and wet.
With the rain jacket, pants and helmet cover on I can ride in 33 degree rain and not really care or even really notice.
