Goodyear welt V Blake Stitching

This morning I came across a pair of Baxter ( their boots are regarded by some as being on par with RM) Derby shoes with a full goodyear welted sole. The shop also had an Italian brand with a Blake stitched sole.

Does anyone have an opinion about the functionality when comparing these two types of soles?

Or seeing as its been so long since I owned a pair of lace ups is there any difference in terms of longevity of the soles?

thanks
