Wetsuit: sleeves vs sleeveless.

I'm fairly new the tri, completing my first and only race last Sept. (olympic distance). I have fallen in love with this sport and I plan on doing a couple of olympics and a 1/2 IM this year. I am not a very strong swimmer and thus considering getting a wetsuit. Looking for advice on what type to get, full wetsuit with sleves or without sleeves. I am inclined to go with the sleved modle due to increased buoyancy and reduced drag but am concerened about over heating in warm weather. Is this a valid concern? Do people wear full wetsuits during July and August? Also interested other pros and cons.
Thanks.
