I agree with what Bill about lighter being better. Yes boots can be more supportive, but when you do end up slipping or twisting the ankle with boots on it usually ends up being a high ankle sprain which is much worse than a lower ankle sprain. If you are in decent condition and have not had ankle problems before then trail shoes or trail running shoes are definitely the way to go. Your feet will feel more rocks underneath but your legs will be fresher the morning after from only having to lift half or more of the weight of those expensive boots.
