Depends a bit on you. I would go with a 5mm, gloves and a hood are not bad ideas either. Just before you go check to see what the water temps are and if you have a dive shop what they would recommend. They can generally tell you best if diving condition are good and how warm the water has been.

I was in the Keys last month and was comfy in a 3/2 steamer with a 3mm hooded vest, so I'd also say a 5mm with hood. And I never dive without gloves for protection.
