In my experience:
PUL is not breathable, therefore it's hotter. However, you're not likely to have leaks.
Fleece is polyester but still breathable, therefore it's less hot than PUL. However, it is a much thicker material so it will be warm. It is subject to compression wicking (not good if your child will be sitting much).
Wool is breathable and a natural fabric, so it's much cooler all the way around. Also subject to compression leaking.
I live in a pretty hot & humid area, too ... not as bad as Bangkok, but the SE Georgia swamps have their moments.

In the summer around the house, dd goes topless & coverless ... just a snappied or pinned pf. IMO this is the coolest option of all, aside from naked (which we also do a little of every day!!). Next best, and what we do for trips into town, etc., is a cotton top, pf, and wool soaker. My mom made dd a few thin fleece wraps that she prefers to use, but I like the wool better. I also have some PUL wraps, but I just got them a few weeks ago. We haven't used them in really hot weather yet, so I'm not sure how we'll like them for that.
I hope that helps some.
