I wear a vest always when we ride in drysuits, The air inside bugs me when I jump in, so I'll bob in the water with my head and neck above water, then I just pull the neck-seal away from my neck and the water pressure basically pushes all the air out of the drysuit (I think is makes it much easier to ride in) - so then you basically have the same bouyancy as if you're riding without the drysuit.
Plus sometimes if you fall hard enough or head first the suit can get a good deal of water inside of it (from forcing it's way in through the neck-seal (whatever the term is called for the super tight seal on your neck).
But yes, wear a vest (on the inside of the drysuit IMO, it's no fun having to carry around a wet and freezing cold lifejacket after riding).
You might want to look into the O'Neill Boost drysuit, it's a full drysuit and works PERFECTLY! Highly recommended.
