Which boots should I get for my horse?

I need a new set of boots for my horse. I do mostly hunter and equitation, ranging from flat to about 2"6" or 3'. I've been looking around, and I've been having trouble finding a set that fits my budget but that I would trust to be high quality. I know you get what you pay for, but I would like to spend not much more than $125 or so on a full set of four. I'm fully aware that this may not be realistic, but I am open to finding higher quality boots and purchasing the fronts, then waiting a little to get the rear pair (the rear pair I have right now are holding up better than the fronts). I've been looking at the ThinLine open front boots, EquiFit boots (only at ebay, I definitely can't pay $175 for them), Eskadrons, and potentially at the Equilibrium Tri-Zone boots. I've been to the Beval store, but it was a long time ago and I didn't look at the boots. The pair I've found is the Beval LTD Open Front and Ankle Boots, with interchangeable neoprene and sheepskin linings. I like the idea of interchangeable linings, as cleaning could be an issue with attached sheepskin and leather. I'm not familiar with the quality, and I would really appreciate any input! Just for reference, my horse is a 15.2 Quarter Horse, fairly stocky build, but usually takes a medium in boots. Any suggestions would be so helpful, thank you!

If you did eventing like I do, it would be a different matter, but you don't so yeah. Cleaning these are really easy. You just put them in a laundry machine! Just make sure you velcro them together first though.
