Both Vasque and Asolo are some of the most reputable brands in the business. However, if you're just beginning, I would hold off on dropping $200. I have a pair of $90 leather Hi-Tec boots that worked better backpacking on the AT than my friends' Gore-Tex boots. Look for leather boots. First and foremost, you can waterproof them easily and inexpensively. Also, they will mold to your feet better. Try to avoid boots with tons of seams visible as there is a greater risk of tearing and leaking. If you're set on getting the absolute best boots though, Asolo or Vasque are the brands I would use.Good advice. I'd suggest looking @ the Columbia & Timberland boots. They're both medium quality & don't cost a fortune.
