Whether tights or long johns, the warmest material would be wool/spandex, second would be polypropylene/spandex. They both transfer sweat and provide some insulation wet as well as the best thermal properties dry. Just look for poly-something on the tag as there are a lot of trade names. Poly is also a non shiny fabric normally.
Wet cotton will take your skin right down to the dew point as it holds water and acts like a "wet bulb" wick.

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
