While I'm a big fan of AEs, I too have owned literally dozens of Rockport shoes over the past few years. I'm going to recommend that you go with the Rockport's for two reasons; 1) you've said you don't mind replacing them every year or so, and 2) you're going to need two pairs (no matter which way you go, you can't wear the same shoes everyday). Given this, you'll be able to get two pair for the same investment.
I'm considering buying a pair of brown rockports and a pair of black AE's. I actually bought a pair of rockports in 12/11 and there is already a hole inside the shoe. I called amazon and they emailed me a return slip and will issue a full refund. I'm pretty impressed with amazon's customer service. I figured out a did a few things wrong...I wore the same pair everyday and didn't use a shoe tree.
