I would absolutely suggest a Mad Bomber Hat. It's probably the least stylish option but it's the absolutely warmest and most windproof hat I've ever used. I've been pleasantly warm and comfortable icefishing in -20F with heavy crosswinds.
I've bought a few of these. Do far so good, but I havent gotten to test them out fully yet, hasn't been cold enough. They're comfortable, well constructed for the price and inexpensive enough buying 3 or 4 to trade out would be worth it.

The sole lugs on the Sorel seem larger. And, if it matters to you, the style of the Sorels looks a whole lot better, especially in the non-black colors (I'm partial to the Bruno myself).
The removable inner would seal the deal for me. That's a huge advantage, because if you're wearing these every day they will get wet from the inside (unless you wear a VBL sock) and you'll want to dry them out as quickly as possible.
The main advantage I see for the Bugaboot is that it weighs less. If you're hiking in them much, that could make a difference. But if I were hiking a lot in these I would look for something even lower, lighter, and with a better waterproof/breathable membrane (eVent, Gore-Tex, or even even non-waterproof mesh with Gore-Tex socks or VBLs).
And don't forget, fit is king! It might just be worth getting both and trying them on—Zappo's has free shipping both ways. If a boot hurts your feet, its features don't even matter anymore.
Don't forget microspikes and gaiters!
Cheapest option is Frogg Toggs. They are cheap for a reason - they'll more like a disposable poncho than a pair of serious rain pants.
I have the Marmot Precip pants and I like them. Depending on what you're doing, rain kilts could be an option:
http://www.ula-equipment.com/product_p/rain-kilt.htm
Keeps you drier (waterproof instead of water resistant), less sweaty, easy to put on/take off. Not great for technical climbing or anything, and probably not the most fashionable, but for serious rain they're surprisingly good.
'inexpensive' and 'built into goggles' is not going to happen.
What is 'cheap' to you? $20/$50/$100/$200?
Hands free is the other part that jumps from cheap to expensive.
The basic answer is something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Uniden-16-Mile-Channel-Battery-Two-Way/dp/B004RG0YMM/ref=sr_1_3
but they don't meet your requirements, other than cheap.
The quality answer is something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/BCA-RL-10000-Backcountry-Access-Link/dp/B00HZLMHFS/ref=sr_1_1
US skiing? You don't happen to have an FCC license for HAM radios do you? That could be another option.
If you're under $70,the precip is where you want to be. For the price, it's the best you can do. If you're really worried about weathering heavy rain for hours, you need to up the budget, or accept being uncomfortable.
The precip is nice enough, and packable. As for long term rain-proofing, use nikwax, if you feel like the water isn't beading up like it should. You will probably get year or more out of it before you really need to re-waterproof.
If its small, like a can or wrapper I just pick it up and put it in my pocket or my pack. If you are more dedicated you can bring a trash bag and a larger pack. What kind of trash picking up product do you need?
https://www.amazon.com/36-Inch-Pick-up-Grabber-Aluminum-Handle/dp/B0035880K6
You could bring a grabber thing to pick up trash?
Black Diamond are a bit more expensive but the clamps are better: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Diamond-Trail-Back-Poles/dp/B001Q4FG3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1381945784&sr=1-1&keywords=black+diamond+trekking+pole
This is more expensive than what you're looking for but your grandchildren will enjoy it when your dead and gone. It can be found cheaper than the link I'm posting but everyone seems to enjoy Amazon.
Maxpedition Doppelduffel
Youtuber Review
I use this guy and hang it on my pack when its not raining and hang it on my pack when at the campsite. It gets the job done and its the size of a kindle. Best 60 bucks i've spent for gear. Now I have my phone charged to take pictures and use a gps or charge batteries.
Alright, I'm shopping. What do you think about this bag?
You mean like this? It's called a sleeping bag liner (though you can use them on their own). I have no clue where to begin recommending you find one other than online.
I am the same size as you, and also have wide feet. Im on my second pair of these. They are wide without being a full wide size that often can be too wide, and are everything I can ask for in a boot.
Headlamps consume roughly 10 amps. Each. A car battery in good condition usually has 50 amp hours in it. It takes very little time for headlamps to drain a battery.
Your camera charger will consume maybe 0.5 amps. 40x less than headamps. Furthermore the camera battery will get full and stop at some point. So if 1 hour of headlamps killed the battery then 40 hours of camera charging will cause problems. It probably takes 2 hours to charge your camera? And you plan to do it 3 times? It'll be fine.
If you want a safety net this will easily produce more power than charging a camera will consume.
