I have several pairs of both, They're actually about the same quality, wear, fit, and comfort. Of course, sometimes the label is more important :wink:

Mostly should depend on the fit of your ski boots. The sock thickness should make a noticeable difference to how tight your boots feel. Go for whatever thickness you are finding feels right now. If you are using a med/thick sock at the moment, it is nice to have a thin pair for the first day, or two of the season. The foam in the boot liners will have expanded a little after not being used, and your feet are not used to the boots, so a thinner sock makes things less cramped.

Sorry, reread your post. Most sock manufacturers have similar designation of thickness. The thin should be about the thickness of a mens shoe sock, maybe just a little thicker.
