Much of the decision depends on the state you hunt as well as the length and timing of the season. You could usually get away with one pair of uninsulated boots if you target hunts in September through October. Uninsulated boots into November is a gamble. Personally I have 3 pairs ranging from uninsulated to 800 gram. I hunt from Labor Day to Thanksgiving between a couple states. I put far more miles on my uninsulated boots then any other pair I have, but the last week of the season was -25 and even the 800 gram were cold as soon as there was a pause in hiking. Lots of good choices but overall can't go wrong with any of the big names as far as I am concerned.
