Help choosing 1st pair of trail runners

With Santa coming soon I thought I'd ask him for a pair of trail runners. I've only recently started to run in the mountains (and absolutely love it!!!), having done the Glendalough Trail and Run the Line (11k). I've climbed a few mountains in Wicklow (Djouce, Maulin, Sugar Loaf) in recent weeks. I've already have 2 pairs…

Good value but ''very grippy'' your aving a laugh.This is designed for hard compact trails like in the US.

Might have found the weak point on these this morning on descent of Maulin. We had to go down a reasonably muddy trail and I slipped a couple of times. They were grand everywhere else, but I really had to slow it down on that section, which cost me about 4 places I reckon.
It could also have been because the pair I HD this morning were pretty trashed and the lugs that should have gripped were pretty much worn away. I have a new pair, but they are the silver/lime combination and haven't been worn yet. No way they were making a debut at an IMRA race
