Not sure if it’s simply a Ford vs Chevy type discussion, but more a question of what the primary use will be. As has been stated, if you’re primary use is fishing from a boat all day exposed to the extreme elements - warmth and absolute water-proofness will be your primary need and gear like grundens, Helly Hansen or some of the cabelas/basspro “guide” gear is what you’re looking for. If you’re going to be active, like wade angling and hiking to/from your fishing spots, the coated/rubberized stuff will make you sweat and you’ll end up wetter than getting rained on - that’s where breathable fabrics like goretex shine and brands like Simms, Patagonia, Arcteryx, taiga, North Face, etc provide good options.
Breathable fabrics are never 100% waterproof, but washing frequently with various DWR products helps a lot. Breathable are great so long as the water is beading and running off, as soon as it sits and soaks in, your jacket isn’t so waterproof anymore. Dirt, and especially oils, are goretex and breathable fabrics kryptonite. Spendy, but angler specific jackets like Patagonia’s “river salt” and any of Simms “G4”, “G3”, “Freestone” or “Guide”sure are nice with great pockets for gear and other features designed by anglers.
