I’ve been looking around everywhere and haven’t been able to find any real answers, so maybe someone can help me out. If I attach Assault Suit to Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder and someone else deals combat damage with him, do my spells gain cascade, or do theirs?

That opponent controls Yidris. Therefore, they control its "Whenever Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder deals combat damage to a player, as you cast spells from your hand this turn, they gain cascade." ability.
113.8. The controller of an activated ability on the stack is the player who activated it. The controller of a triggered ability on the stack (other than a delayed triggered ability) is the player who controlled the ability’s source when it triggered, or, if it had no controller, the player who owned the ability’s source when it triggered. To determine the controller of a delayed triggered ability, see rules 603.7d–f.
The "you" in the ability therefore refers to that opponent.
109.5. The words “you” and “your” on an object refer to the object’s controller, its would-be controller (if a player is attempting to play, cast, or activate it), or its owner (if it has no controller). For a static ability, this is the current controller of the object it’s on. For an activated ability, this is the player who activated the ability. For a triggered ability, this is the controller of the object when the ability triggered, unless it’s a delayed triggered ability. To determine the controller of a delayed triggered ability, see rules 603.7d–f.
The ability therefore adds cascade to spells that opponent casts from their hand.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?

"You" on a permanent means "this permanent's controller". So Yidris's current controller, not you, gains Cascade on their spells.
