Lately I've been using Simms G4 vibram soled guide boots with screw in Simms carbide spikes.

Don't go that route. They weigh a ton, they are very wide (which throws you off balance in bad footing), have too much ankle padding for good support, and the hard soles and stud pressure make them very uncomfortable to stand still on a rock for anything more than a few minutes. Cost a ton as well. Seem like they will last much longer than felt, but the misery involved leaves me unsure it is worth it.
