To each his own. You'll just have to get down to cotswold or wherever and find whats right for you. Guards SNCO's I knew liked Lowa. Signals DS preferred Trazeta(?). RM officer swore by Berghaus. RMR officer went with Danner. What are your requirements? If you're looking for a high boot you'll probably end up with Danner.

Danner Acadia desert boots seem to be pretty good. Havent tried them myself, but according to the reviews they don't seem to last that well, especially considering the pricetag.

For year-round black boots in Europe I think Lowa might be better for during the cold months as it seems better insulated.
