Without a doubt the best quality and most durable boots are Wesco's. I wear my boots all day every day and ride nearly as much as you and I wouldn't wear anything else. They are very expensive at first, but are way cheaper over time because they are so durable. Wesco can not only resole them, they can rebuild them for about half the cost of new boots.
They offer both stock boots and will also completely custom make a pair to your measurements and specs. I have a pair of the 18" high Boss models which look like this:

I use lace to toe firestorm. Worth every penny. B*tch to break in but fit like glove when they are.

I bought a pair of HD Gore-Tex boots (made by Wolverine) on sale 4+ years ago when I bought my bike. Wear them year 'round and they are always dry, and not hot in the summer or cold in the winter. Bought a second pair a couple of years ago on a ridiculous sale. Neither pair is close to being worn out (and despite using the toe shifter only, show no wear at the toe), but the original pair will get resoled later this year, after 50K miles. I have no experience with the other brands mentioned, but I doubt I'll be buying boots any time soon.

Allways ride with cowboy boots, when the sole wears out i get um' replaced with rubber ones for super cheep. Never had water in my boots, the only thing about cowboy boots is there is NO grip whatsoever but rubber soles help all that.
