Well if I have to choose, the wooly gloves are binned first as they are the worst of the three in my opinion as their uses are very limited.

If I had to go less expensive, I would buy a pair of riggers gloves / ranchers gloves and a set of goretex winter gloves. Riggers are great all rounders for working in all weathers, and will dry in front of the fire in the evening. A plus is that you can add a poly pro liner to up the warmth ratio of the rigger for use into late autum.
