I am by no means a veteren, but for me low vis is always the bigger problem, the lake 5min from my house is very warm can reach 90 degrees summer but vis is terrible, sometimes under 5feet, I'll usually opt for the hour drive to high altitude sierra lakes like tahoe which are freezing cold (direct snowmelt) but have 100ft+ vis, not only for performance but for personal enjoyment, diving just isn't much fun if you cant see anything, and with the propulsion you get with a mono, in really poor vis I'm always scarred i'm going to barrel into the side of a rock or something, there's just more anxiety in the low vis+ those following on the surface sometimes can't see me.
