Well, it depends on the day.
My Han Wags are tough and take my vote for a sold sheep boot. I use the HanWag Alaska Gtx. Perfect for multi day adventures. I put them on and don't even think about my feet, support or traction.
I also like my LaCrosse Alphaburly Sport. Think rubber boot with aggressive soles. If needed, tensor bandages wrapping the ankles give all the support a guy will need (especially when side-hilling). I like these for day trips. They are super
light weight and creeks are not a problem. I fast like brave scout.
