Without seeing the level of boot destruction it's tough to make a call on whether any intervention would be worth it. As for "back goo" I have no experience so I can't weigh in. If the boot had say a small tear, a very good cleaning and some GE silicone would be my choice.

I know other purists on this blog will disagree but IMO, given the weather conditions you drive in, this could be a non issue for a very long time. As I said before, if it really bothered me, I'd save my cash for a suspension upgrade; that way you don't wrench your butt off to change bellows, you wrench your butt off for an improvement in performance.
