My tip: Go with what fits the best on you! Nothing is worse than skates that aren't comfortable to wear. Unless you are a brand whore or hater, just try them all on and see which suits your foot shape the best.
I agree with this whole heartedly. I grew up wearing Bauer's, but saw a lot of people wearing Graf's and tried a pair. Despite that others said they felt like slippers out of the box, my feet never felt comfortable in them for the 3+ years I had them. Plus, the rocker/foot incline was something that threw off my skating style. I tried CCM's in the past and found my feet didn't like them either. Went back to Bauer and my feet loved them.

Morale of the story: Listen to your feet...
