My experience has been that in the rocks, Korkers offer the best grip, but studded wading boots are good enough, far more comfortable, and offer much better ankle support (which is equally important in avoiding falls). In the sand, wading boots quickly become very uncomfortable....and I ended up buying a 2nd pair of bootfoots. Starting out, bootfoots and korkers probably give you the most versatility for your expenditure, but if you live in the rocks get some Simms G3s and a pair of studded boots.
