Moab 3 by far the better choice. I can’t stand the GTX version of the XT6 and the non GTX version is not amazing either (though I did a 25K hill hike in them with no blisters lol).
What I would say though, GTX boots or shoes are more suitable for snow and ice in my opinion, anything to do with rain and puddles, I’d much prefer a non GTX, breathable shoe that will dry much faster. Once water gets into a GTX shoe (and in my experience it will) it takes forever to dry so you’re walking with swamps on your feet which is not great. This is just my opinion, I know lots of people that do wear them in the rain so YMMV
They were originally designed to be trail running shoes when they came out. So they actually are trail runners that have become popular for fashion lifestyle wear.
There is definitely better for the price in both categories, but I really do like my Nocturne Vision pair. They are comfy to me (I prefer firm soles) but everyone's feet is different.
I’ve been wearing mine for a good 3 years and bring some scuffs they still look great. Took them around the world in random hikes and could wear them the entire day comfortably with no problem.
I mean, the Solly XT6s everyone is going crazy for are a softground model with big lugs too. In reality, when the lugs wear down on any of these, then they're still fine streetwear shoes.

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