Cabela's quality is shit now. You used to could get 5-6 years out of a pair of their waders, now 2 years is a long time. Wait until the BPS buyout is complete, quality will go even lower.
Most of the retail outlets are for neckbeard hipster fucksticks that just want to look like a lumberjack. That includes Filson, EB, REI.....LL Bean "seems" to be starting to get back to their roots. I know some guys who have bought gear from them lately and they like it.
It's trial and error to find what works for you. Kuiu and First Lite are nice (but expensive) for big game; I have had decent luck with Drake and Natgear for waterfowl, Lacrosse for waders, Muck rubber boats, Danner leather boots.....
Patagonia/North Face.....expensive fashion garbage to make people think they are badasses.
