pencott greenzone is very effective in the ottawa area. I know a couple guys that run it and they disappear within a couple steps into foliage.

marpat is ridiculous in the spring and fall, super effective, and good during the rest of the warm year.

You can combo marpat and cadpat depending on how green things are for the time of year.

multicam does work very well at any time of year and at this point, it's very available and getting a cheaper to get gear and clothing if you are surplus diving.

If you go with a more oddball pattern you'll be stuck trying to get certain gear unless you go with RG/OD/CB, at which case you might get a price advantage due to patterned cordura costing more because of licensed fabrics. It's up to you, spend a bit more on the pattern to get clothing and go base color gear. If you want to match and have camo gear, multicam is the most common, some companies ran some kryptec for a while but then they liquidated it. Pencott gear is just starting to come out but very limited and only a few manufacturers are using it.

Run the numbers for the kit you want in the pattern and that might help you decide if prices get retarded fast.
