The one thing that is clear is that the boots for one type of country is not the best for another. Many well respected members recommending a variety of boots. I would take the advise from members that hunt the same type of environment.
For here in AZ where I mainly hunt. You need solid leather uppers. Light insulation, boots with great arch support and a tough non slip sole. I like boots like Kenetreks that have a rubber toe cap and 1" rubber strip from the soles up along the uppers. Tough country with rocks that cut like a knife, and many types of cactus that penetrate thin leather or canvas boots.
As Chris Dawe can attest from hunting with me last fall, this area is tough on boots.
