This is a good rationale. Most of my suits are casual like linen, seersucker, tweed. In my life, I find I wear those much more often. So a more casual color like olive/grey may work well for you.I'd like to use this suit for casual situations. On occasion, I also might use it for fan events to "dress up" as the character pictured.
DB doesn't look good unbuttoned, so you won't be able to wear it when it's warmer.
Also, DBs are so rare nowadays, you'll be standing out more from the crowd. In today's casual world, wearing a suit at all is already standing out enough, so a DB is just too much in my opinion.
I don't own any DBs, while Aaron has several, so he'll have a different opinion.
A 3-pc is a similar situation of being too rare, but at least you can omit the vest most of the time, and wear it when going to a wedding or something similarly formal.
