+1 to Colin's recommendations. The latex/dipped style were what I wore as an archaeologist if I was doing a lot of digging. They'd be grand for 99% of jobs, less restrictive than riggers. Even if they get wet and muddy, they don't feel heavy or horrible. The heavy rigger style if you happen to be doing anything particularly nasty/pointy/jaggy. I find they can cause you more issues if you're trying to do a lot of lighter work, moving around a lot and you have dainty IT nerd hands to start with, like I do nowadays.
Work glove recommendations? Mainly for carrying building materials and some heavier duty home DIY.
