IMO go with the Gore. The best pairs of hiking boots I've owned have all had Gore-Tex liners. I've even used A pair of hunting boots with Gore-Tex and insulated with Thinsulate as my year round hiking boots and never had a sweat issue. As a matter of fact I've had far more sweat problems with non Gore-Tex boots not being able to breath after their 3rd or 4th coating of water proofing than with that pair of Gore-Texed and insulated boots. Plus, unless you re-waterproof before and after,and sometimes during every trip you WILL eventually get a leak in a non Gore-Tex boot. Just my experiences. Good luck!
