If you already have 1080's and Rebel v4's, I would start a rotation around those. Alternate the 1080's and the Rides for easy/long runs, use the Rebels for speed work.
If you wanted to stick with Saucony, the new anticipated Azura comes out next week, Endorphin Speed 5's are also well reviewed, and the Pro 4's are on sale right now, as the Pro 5 is coming out soon.

RunRepeat has a category for orthotic friendly shoes, but I can see how it is overwhelming. The running shoe geeks can really overcomplicate things.
I’m agnostic on gait analysis, I’ve never had one but also never felt the need for one. At one point I used to get knee pain but increasing cadence and changing to midfoot strike made it better.
I tend to just try to find shoes that are considered ok for wide feet, have a decent toe box and are ok for mid strikers. Currently using ASCIS novablast 5 which I really like. Previously did 300-400 miles in the New Balance Rebel v4 which were fine, but probably prefer the Novablast.
The best running shoe for you is the one that fits your foot the best.
I like the new balance rebel v4s for daily training and SC elite v4s for racing. Largely because both fit my foot and strike parttern almost perfectly. I've also been enjoying the adidas evo sl.
For daily walking, I've been fully converted into the minimalist, zero drop shoes. I use a pair of lems on the daily. I find that cushioned shoes for prolonged periods of standing or walking actually make my ankles feel uncomfortable. Not so much for the no stack/lower stack stuffm
For me Evo Sl are comfortable at any pace below 10k but easy to overdo easy runs in them. Hated both Rebel V3 and V4 on the road - both felt flat out of the box but decent on treadmill.
