I run the Novablast 5 too. For me it is a bit too soft but i like exactly that for shorter runs. My goto long run shoe is a brooks ghost 17. i need a bit more support on longer runs. That’s why i held back order some other blast model like megablast, superblast or magic speed. I also asked myself which Tempo shoe i should get and i just ordered a Saucony Endorphin Azura. I had good experience with the Endorphin Shift some years back. I think it‘s a good fit, but time will tell.

I have been using the Prime X or Prime X Strung for my 16+ mile runs the past few years, which are all at least a steady effort. Sometimes I'll use a retired race shoe (Deviate Elite 1, Alphafly 1) for runs with marathon pace, but the Prime X can also handle it. It mostly a comfort thing for me. It is just nice to not have my feet hurt at the end of the run. Prior to the Prime X I used Atreyu The Artist and the Endorphin Shift 1 prior to that. Those models don't exist anymore and I didn't find their successors as comfortable over long runs, so I have been using the Prime X for 3 years now. Not sure what I will use when I finally wear those out. Would like to try out the Evo SL and see if that works.

They’re my favorite! Coming out with a new version soon that’s lighter too.

I love the Evo after I wore out my Saucony Endorphin shoes. It took me forever to find a replacement because I didn’t like running in the new Endorphin model or the Nike Zoom Fly 6.

I’m shocked you want a shoe that’s good for wide feet and haven’t tried Altra. I almost exclusively run in Altra and brooks and save endorphins or adizero’s for races

zoom fly 5’s are super comfortable by nike standards. saucony endorphin are also legit imo, but your feet will hurt regardless if you’re new to outdoor running lol
