My 2cents worth:

I bought my Miuras cos they can do all of these things well. Excellent jamming from a sport shoe. But beware the dreaded second toe. If they don't fit, well, see my last post. The La Sportiva Mythos are a great shoe for multipitching, and unlined on a slip last so not too stiff. They're smear-a-rific. They will stretch heaps though.

Scarpa Dominators are more a sport shoe like the Miuras, but not too uncomfotable. I liked em anyway but none in my size (46). Get'em at Paddy's. Exxy though. If you have wide feet, particularly in the heel, and plenty of moolah, you might want to try one of the 5.10 models - the Anasazi lace-up is really good for people with wide feet, allegedly, and not as stiff as the new Mesa model. Ascent good for mutlipitch and bouldering.

I've tried all these shoes and liked 'em all. Take all of this with a grain of salt, given that I just bought the wrong bloody shoe for my foot.
