Cant speak for the others but i can for "muck boots" . they are comfy as hell, warm, easy to walk in. And i do alot of that, strong, and cheap ... hope this helps.

my tip would be also buy yourself some 'stormsure flexible adhesive' which is good for repairing any holes/cracks that may appear. I have a pair of chameau vatna boots and being honest I haven't looked after them that well and the nubuck leather cracked and split and I used it to repair them and it worked a treat (althought the repair itself is not that pretty, it worked well) and the I bought some numbuck conditioner oil to prevent them cracking. Hope this helps

i treated myself to a pair of hunter balmorals last july.as my bithday present.ive been carefull with the boots in as much ive never done any work in them.just for dog and archery over winter.but im not impressed.because when i got up on my birthday this year and pulled em on i found a split in the side.and they had already started to wear on the inner sock around my heel.dont think i will bother again.thinking of sticking to boots and gaiters this winter.cheap or dear wellies just dont seem to last.

have you had to treat them with the oil stuff to keep them from cracking or splitting?

If you go for muckboots Id stay away from the Tay because I found the studs wear down real quick leaving you with no grip.Im going back to the Esk next time.Muckboots are like slippers, there so comfortable.

I have found if the wellies are made in 2 parts they split.. not sure if you can get them moulded completely with no joins they might be better

i have two pairs of hunters cant mind what the first ones were called but the set me back £10 and are great the other pair i have are the barmoral bamboo carbon but feel they bit sore on the heel, but only wore them twice and they const me £15 i bought them from a so called mate who's cousin works for hunter but looks like i lost out in getting anymore cheap hunters fae him, my mate has muck boots and i tried them on and they are comfy as fcuk so i not too fussed about the hunters now as i know what i will be getting next.
