I have not tried Kennetrek but I would highly recommend Schnees.  I have a pair of Schness that I have had for a bunch of years that have been resoled once and by far are my favorite boot of that type.

Kennetreks are great pacs. I have a pair that I wear when the snow flies and the wind blows, and they keep my feet comfy, dry and warm.

Hoffman makes a great lightweight pac boot too.  I have heavy pair of Schnees and light pair of Hoffmans.

I love my kenetrek grizzlies. I hiked about 10 miles in them one day and feet felt good. Can't go wrong with kenetreks plus the price is good to.

I have a pair and like them but they might be sized a little tight so try them first if you can.

I should have ordered one size up since as it is now, I can only wear one pair of socks. I couldn't return them because the store ordered them special for me and had told me that beforehand.

I have a pair of Grizzlies and love them. Very high quality and came with a jar of leather treatment.

i have the northerns.  they are great. i had to go a size up too  as i felt the rubber footbed was on the tight side.  they are as warm as my mickey boots. the customer service was great. i believe they are outsourced products if that matters to you.  schnees are slightly better in the quality dept. but but only minutely and ive seen a pair of schnees break in badly and were worthless after.  either is a fantastic choice and close enough id say a personal inspection is needed to really determine a preference.
