What a fun question. First, I should point out that the only time I have ever worn any kind of bathing suit at Hedo at all since the resort became all clothing optional has been on the boats and when snorkeling I take it off if I have the option (usually they will let you). The only cover-up I wear on the resort grounds is a sarong. I've gone a week and never gotten the damn thing wet. The most likely comment you might get about wearing a Speedo at Hedo is a question of why you are so over-dressed.
Beyond that, there are many types of Speedos and thongs. I've not done a thong, but I have Speedos and wear them on trips to all kinds of places. Mine are not too terribly skimpy. They cover the butt and the sides are about 2 inches. We just returned from Aruba where I wore one on the beach and didn't get any comments or looks. This was a public beach and I saw quite a few men in Speedos there. It's just not a big deal. I've worn one in the more boring resorts in Jamaica and never had an issue. Once at Pebbles (yes, ancient history) I had a shirt on and a staff member asked if I had anything on under it at all, but was fine with the Speedo when I lifted the shirt. And I assure you, I am just about the farthest thing from a male model.
Yes, you'll hear lots of comments like the one above, that they "do not look 'right' on most BIG guys". Keep in mind that you'll hear lots of comments like that about being nude as well. I'm sure everyone here has heard the insulting comments people make about naked people all of the time ("you can't unsee that" or "people who look like that should not be naked"). My general opinion is "fuck em!" Wear what you want to wear, so long as it's within the rules of the place you are wearing it (and maybe push those rules a bit sometimes as well).
