I'd go with the PV, but in the more versatile USA Kilts Semi-trad style.

May I ask, why do you consider them "more versatile"? I mean, I am looking for something casual for more regular daily wear.

Well, it's been said that it's easier to dress down a nice kilt than dress up a basic one. I just think for the money involved, I like a kilt that I won't worry about daily wear or knocking about in, but could still clean up and wear out to a nice dinner.

I'll admit to a little bias toward USA Semi-trads, I own a few.

The USA Kilts casuals and semi-trads are both made to measure from the same washable PV material. The Casuals are a simple low yardage kilt made with a Velcro closure and no traditional details like buckles and straps and a fringed apron. The Semi-trad kilts have more yardage and pleats, buckle and strap closure and overall more 'traditional' looking styling. A semi-trad will wear and survive just as well at whatever rough and tumble stuff you'd get up to in the casual, but could also pass muster at times that you feel the need to dress a bit more 'authentically', like weddings, highland games, dinners, etc..

If you don't want to EVER dress it up, than you can do a casual. If not, I would choose either a 8 yard pv from SHO or a Semi from USAK. One of those would dress up much easier.
