The Chota STLs probably lasted as long as any boots for me. I used mine hard for about 2 years but the studs kept falling out and the ice racing screws I bought fell out too. The boots themselves are still solid though. Patagonia rock grips with aluminum bars sucked IMO. I like weinbrenner borgers or danner river grippers but they are hard to find and the Chotas lasted just as long they were just clunky and heavy. I want boots that can be re-soled, for me the soles always go quicker than the boot (except the patagonias were totally shot after a year).
