OK, you asked about Utilikilts so that's where I'll start!
My "original" Utilikilt was, umm, an Original in OD. Then I added a couple of Mockers in OD and khaki, and a Workman's in black off the Scratch'n'Dent list (which seems to be gone from the website).
The material in the Workman's is STIFF with a capital S, T, I, and two capital Fs. Frankly, too stiff for my taste.
Of them all, I think I like the Mockers best (noting that I've no experience with the Jeans cut UK). I don't really care for the cargo pockets on a kilt, although they are quite functional. The Mocker pockets will hold a ton of gear, too.
None of them are going to really show off your rump, sorry. For that, you'll want something tailored. Rocky still isn't giving me kickbacks no matter how much I praise him, but if I was starting all over again, my first kilt would be a USAK casual. Five yards of poly-viscose (good PV, too), with the pleats sewn down, it is the perfect "beater" kilt. As Cameron Swayze used to say about the Timex watch, it'll take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
And at the risk of opening up a whole other can of worms, I think it's easier to mistake a UK for a skirt than a tartan kilt. (Heck, for that matter, it's probably easier to mistake any solid kilt for a skirt than a tartan kilt---and I've got three or four solid kilts that I really love.)
