If you don't sweat at all when riding maybe use goretex or such on the outside. But most people sweat when riding and "rain-proof + breathable" is not breathable when "raining" on the inside with sweat. And then those gore-tex jackets become boiler rooms.
It doesn't matter if you are wet, it's the warmth that matters in the rain.
I also use Performance brand neoprene booties over my bike shoes for cold or wet conditions, they keep the shoes dry and clean for the next days ride.
Wear a polypro scull cap when cold or wet too. And carry extra dry gloves for the descent home.
