I would get them with the gore tex. I bought some lighter weight more breathable boots that were just water resistant and hated them. A short rain storm and walking in the wet brush afterwards would leave me with wet feet. This especially sucks when you're planning on hunting for a few days in those boots. I love the gore tex boots I have now. It seems like I walk through dew or get rained on or something happens everyday in the mountains that would get my feet wet otherwise. I wear them with a nice set of merino socks that wick moisture. Yeah my feet sweat more but I think it's worth it having the waterproofness.
