I had trabuco 10 and after that moved to agility peak 4. Merrel fit me much better, and the grip was just insane.
However, the new trabuco looks amazing
They are very different shoes. I tried both, the standard feels more like a: asics trabuco 10, tradicional salomon, etc. The pro is more “modern and race style”. I had the SG5 and replace them with a nbhierro9, and the the prodigio pro is more on that veins
The midsole is a modified version of the Novablast, to render a firmer ride in the trail shoe. Still it is bouncier and more energetic than the older foam in Trabuco 13. Trabuco 14 is a HUGE improvement on the Trabuco 9, 10, 11!
I run in the ascis gel Kayano for road which is a stability shoe. I was told the ascis trabucco is the equivalent trail shoe and they work well for me.
Check into the Asics Gel-Trabuco series. I have been wearing these for both backcountry trails in Colorado, running on pavement, the gym, and on local smooth gravel trails. They are lightweight, flexible, with a grippy sole, and breathe well. They are unlikely to hold up for extended backpacking, though. But for general hiking and trail running, they excel. Be aware that you are going to see the soles wear sooner than some of the hikers on the list you gave. Trade-offs. I have Goretex hikers as well and I can tell you that they definitely are hotter and your feet will sweat in them. I have them in cold and warm weather models. They are good in cooler mountain environments and where you might hike in spongy, moist lowlands, and keep your feet from getting soaked from morning dews. Again, trade-offs.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
