the brands you named are DH brands. If you want to ride cross country, I suggest shimano, northwave, mavic, or sidi.

You need to first choose which style of shoe you want. Either the more casual looking "DH" style clipless shoes, like the Shimano MP66 or 5.10 offering, or the lighter/stiffer XC shoes, like a Shimano M183. I have both and use each of them. If you ride trails with stream crossings and you are likely to get your feet wet, I would recommend one of the more traditional XC shoes because they have less material and won't end up being boat anchors once they get wet.
Wow, you're right. Those are hideous. Better buy new pairs before the current ones are all gone.
Love my shimano shoes. They have nice DH and XC spd offerings. Specialized xc shoes are nice as well.

Not my size, but those look badass.
Yea I shed a little tear when I put them on and realized they were too big.
What are those? Samples? They aren't listed on the site. Oh, and is it too much to ask for Vans to make them look like a pair of chocolate brown Rowley XLT's???
return them?
I bought them from Duncan Riffle, no return policy.

Just some input on the Warners:
I've been on a pair for a few months now. One of the things that surprised me was their stiffness. I previously had a pair of 661 Filters that I ran into the ground, so maybe over time they got softer from their original stiffness.. The Filters were a great shoe and served me well.
Going to the Warners was tough due to the stiffness change, and they don't have an ideal cleat position. I was able to place the cleat where I wanted, but at the end of the side to side range. They bug me in another aspect too; the cleat isn't tucked in very tight. You kinda have that roadie-shuffle walking around in them. Still not as bad as a high-end MTB or road shoe. Lastly, they have a velcro strap near the top of the laces and it's at the end of it's adjustment for my feet. It's removable, but I prefer using it to add some tightness.
Hope this helps. They're still a great shoe, but not without fault.

661 filter
I think Fraser (Transcend) has some. Might ask him.
