Used to wear the Simms but I had a warranty issue and they were very tuff to deal with and sorta screwed me so I said never again.
Went to the Cabalas Dry plus and they were pretty nice but their seams leak a little after a couple of years. I now have the
  Redington Sonic Pros super comfy going on three years no leaks got them at Sierra Trading on a super deal would defiantly buy again.

I also spend a whole lot of time in waders for both work and play, 150-200 days / yr the last few years. I was happy with Sims, I think Headwaters model, but have had about the same longevity w/ Cabelas Guide Tech for about $150 less. They seem pretty good for the price although the last two years the booty seems over-sized for the wader size.

So what did you end up getting?  Picking one up within the next two weeks to catch up on perch action.

Well...I got caught up in the excitement and purchased Reddinton CPX I think was the style from Sierra Outfitters.They are pretty meh, not bad but the breathable fabric is a little weird and the booties a odd cut. Not too bad for $99 , but nothing special either. Next pair I will go LL Bean i think.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but now that you remind me, I need to look back through this list.  Thanks.
