Winter tights and jacket help deciding

I'm looking at buying some winter / wind tights and a winter jacket.

I live in No. California and ride ~27 miles one way to work a couple of days a week. Lowest temperatures in the low to mid 30 usually mid 40s (I know not cold compared to east and north) so extreme gear is not necessary. I'm looking at a couple of items and would like to opinions on from those with experience. I've been layering and using a Pearl Izumi shell which is a good wind blocker but doesn't breath so it is like wearing a plastic bag = really wet after a hard 27 mile ride.
Tights
1 - Pearl Izumi AmFib Tights
2 - Castelli Kiss Wind Bike Tights
3 - Castelli Primo Tights
4 - Gore Vista Bike Tights
Jackets
1 - Craft WindStopper Thermal
2 - Castelli Solo Jacket
3 - Pearl Izumi Gavia Jacket
Any other decent suggestions for a (road) bike specific mid weight breathable jacket I haven't thought of would be appreciated.

Thanks,
jw
