LL bean has always been good to me. If the waders had a leak( user error or not) they would refund/ replace with no questions asked.

LL Bean West Branch waders get my vote - awesome service and waders made in lots of sizes. Im my case I needed the small short. 
If you have more $ to burn then the Simms Guide weight or their big $$ model are the nutz !!
For ankle control I like the stocking foots over bootfoots. Korkers are a must on rocks and you can use them over bootfoots as well. Typically I use my stockingfoots w/ old Patagonia Beefy boots (felt w/ carbide studs). |

I've had nothing but problems with the Cabela's guide plus - never even gotten a month out of them - I probably try to do too much in them and stretch the seams. My patagonia's are holding strong after about 3.5 months (the most I've ever gotten out of waders) and that includes a weed of climbing around on BI and a few nights on Cutty. Plus you can rest assured that patagonia will take care of any issues that arise. I may pick up a pair of simms this winter and rotate the too. I'd go with beans for the warranty but they don't fit me right.
