There's no straightforward answer I'm afraid. I like Scarpa SL Activ for winter type use and Salomon Quest Prime GTX for summer. In between I occasionally use an old pair of Meindl Burma GTX and Scarpa SL M3. The Scarpas are not GTX, the other two are; touch wood, I've never had problems with leaking boots with any of them although the Salomon outers being fabric take far longer to dry out than the others being leather. I also wash my boots generally after each walk and treat the leather boots with Scarpa HS12 cream. However, their fit and type suit my feet and walking conditions. None may suit you though.
Suggest you'd be best to go into a shop, eg Cotswold, Nevisport, Craigdon, Tiso etc, and try on a number of different types of boot to find what best suits you, your feet and your walking plans before coming to any decision. Most shops will let you buy, take away, wear round the house then return if not suitable - cheers
