Dexter-
I've subscribed to the school of low trail shoes. I've rolled my ankles a good bit now and they're getting strong as a result and now bounce back. I don't see a need for higher unless it's for water protection or warmth, unless you've some issue. I'll happily hike rough ground with 20kg (kid in backpack) without issue. Just be careful where you step.
For me I much prefer the freedom of movement of lows, breathability.Just be careful getting something new so close.
I remember when I was in Scotland, saw this poor person in huge boots with a rucksack like they were going to the Himalayan. Obviously their feet were fucked.

Why mids? Restricts movement and gives more stuff to rub skin.
