Your answer if you're going to nitpick about the minutiae is that everything sucks against a skinsuit and aero jerseys aren't that much better than a standard jersey as long as they all fit properly.
Along those lines, while I agree about body position probably being the most important thing, in road racing, being in the most aero position possible is not really practical or even doable a lot of the time, at least when you're talking about road races and crits. The nice things about clothing, wheels, frame, etc. is that they're all aero all the time even when you're not or can't be.
