Generally the fit is better and they are warmer.

Off the rack suits use stretchy neoprene that is not as warm, because they have to stretch enough to accommodate a variety of sizes. Custom fit suits can use the same material throughout for superior warmth, and yet not hinder movement, since they are cut specifically for you. It's also possible to get them to use superior, more expensive and crush resistant neoprene, like Yamamoto and Rubitex which gives the warmest possible suits.
