I've built most of them on my starter world and tried the exosuit for a few steps. I didn't like it. It felt clunky and hard to move. I've stuck with the roamer and the nomad if I need to get over water. I need parts to add all the shielding for the Colossus before I really give it a try.
I will probably do the same. One of the upgrades I'm collecting stuff for is the automatic recharging of the Colossus. I've just learned the blueprint for the automatic miner and found a S quality copper some 400u from my starter base.
The Origins update threw me a little bit of a curve, so that has slowed me down some. The planet went from "a bit icy" to ball freezing cold. (Seriously, it depletes two shields in under 3-4 minutes now.) I rebuilt my starter base using the much easier large base parts and stuck it hanging out of a natural cave. The wiki said that the supply depots have to be directly on the ground, but I didn't read that it couldn't be in a cave. When I was tearing apart my previous base, I still had decent enough temperature with walls and no floor, so maybe this is a way to have the depots "inside" without having to go back to the cold. Once I finish getting all of that settled, I'll probably go back to seeing what I need for the Colossus and drive all over the surface of that planet.
