Since you'll be using this for interviewing, and you want it to look good and last a while, summer weight suits might be too light, and won't hold up. you will be dry cleaning the thing every time you wear it.
Look for a tropical wool (it doesn't feel itchy, it's a nice lightweight wool, that's good for 3 seasons)
Find the style that looks good on you. Double breasted, three button, or 2 button, since you're a bigger guy, probably a two button is your best bet.
When you are having the pants hemmed, wear your real shoes, and watch the tailor in the mirror, some tailors hem a little too short (I like the pants leg to break a little bit)
Dark over the calf socks with the suit, please... pretty please... I'll give you a cookie....
200 bucks is the low end for a suit, you don't want one that looks cheap, and 200 bucks is quite inexpensive for a good suit. Remember this is your first, and sometimes only chance to make an impression, you want to look sharp.
Syms, if they're in your area is a good suggestion. You might also try Men's Wearhouse
Again, you are a big guy, check to make sure the jacket fits across your shoulders... if it's tight, the tailors can't make it bigger without ruining the line of the jacket.
