I originally read your post to say hunting boots, so I went off in another direction, lol. Of the boots you mentioned, I'd be going with Cabelas brand for a good hiker. They use several name boot makers to put their boots together for them and the quality is above average for even their lower priced boots. I tried Hi-Tek's line and they were not for me. The price was cheap, but so was the product in my opinion. Rockey makes a fair hunting boot, but I have no experience with their hiking line.
I opted to go into debt for my boots and went with the Vasque Zephyr w/goretex. They offer excellent support for both arch and ankle and stability is also excellent. The break-in period was near non existent as well, so I am very happy with my decision. They were about 50.00 more than you want to spend and are a subsidiary of Red Wing boots.
It may sound strange, but I'd recommend wearing Merino wool socks while hiking. They cusion the foot and help to wick the sweat away from the foot. Add goretex and your feet will stay dry and comfortable. I suggest that you opt for a boot with removeable footbed inserts (most have them I think), so that you can replace them every few months, as they tend to break down with use.
