Replying to New Jacket? One That Will Last a While

Looking for a new jacket, and possibly pants. Can anyone tell me:

Is DWR (spray-on) waterproofing good enough? I ski for 13-15 hours a day most days, in wet and gross Nova Scotia weather. I want a jacket that's gonna last for a while, is it worth going Gore-Tex or something similar?

Does 2L or 3L mean that the jacket has an internal membrane and not DWR waterproofing?

What's the quality of the new Moment stuff like?

Anyone have any suggestions on companies that make quality stuff? Most of the stuff I see in my style (neon colors with a little bagginess) seems to look good, but doesn't seem like it'd hold up to the weather here. Am I wrong?

What type of waterproofing should I look for? 10k? 15k? 20k? Gore-Tex?
