Please post serious suggestions. I am about to build a base, and plan on changing from 60 mpw @6:50 pace to 100 @~7:30 pace over the next 6 months(I've ran this mileage before without issue btw).
I run on a wide range of surfaces and live in a very mountainous area. Terrains include pavement, concrete, grass, trails, dirt, gravel, track, etc.
I just need something comfortable, durable, and affordable. In the past I've had success with Saucony Cohesions, but would like to try something new.
I think the cohesion is a lower end shoe, are you saying this didn't work out? What is your arch like? If you don't really pronate brooks ghost 5 seems to be a well rounded shoe and with a new continuous sole it seems more stable and a smoother ride.
The Cohesions actually lasted pretty well for the price, and seemed really friendly as far as not placing too much stress on my feet. I just had issues with the bottoms separating from the shoe and tears in the material in every pair I had after a couple months.

Dude, if you are/were running that kind of mileage, 2 months seems about the right time for new shoes. 500 miles is generally the max the so-called experts say you should put on serious training shoes, but of course with proper care you can squeeze more life out of them. But better to err on the safe side, getting a new set sooner rather than later; the risk factor being injury rather than shoes falling apart prematurely.
