Launch 10 - Lighter / less cushion / lower stack height
Ghost 15 - Good all around mid stack, cushioning, weight
Ghost 15 GTX - Gortex waterproof version, if you live in the rain, good option
Ghost Max - Maximum cushion, would only consider if you don't walk at all, are heavy and are about beat your feet and joints up for the first time in a decade.
Budget options, a bit cheaper foams / materials used, but since they are the same price as Ghost during the sale, no reason to buy these:
Trace 3 - little more cushion
Revel 7 - little lighter, mid cushion
Wish Brooks did more in 4E, even if only it was just some more colors of the existing shoe styles. A couple come in grey or blue, but otherwise they only do All black and that gets old.

I would certainly not buy these for walking or daily use. Cushioning does feel nice, but they don't do your feet any favors long term. They WILL weaken the arches your feet, we were not designed to walk on marshmallows.

Unfortunate for me one foot is 2E and the other is 4E so I'm stuck getting 4E shoes going forward if I want good foot health.

Cushioning in my opinion is for running, where you are putting multiple times the force through your body for a long period of time. Or maybe if you don't walk much at all, and then go on vacation where you're going to be walking for 6 hours a day or something.
Short term, cushion and support is nice for daily
Long term, it is crippling the ability for your feet to remain or grow strong. Which leads to sore feet anytime you stress them, which leads back to thinking the answer is more cushion and support.
If you are really interested in educating yourself on the subject, there is a nice primer to understanding foot health... 2 and a half hours...

Wearing Hoka sandals indoors seems to be alleviating the issue.
Keep in mind, all of these max cushion shoes are pretty heavy and don't provide a ton of energy return, so while your joints and feet will thank you for the comfortable ride, they are slow and not much fun.
