Smartwool is the way to go. I've got five pairs and have had them for a few years. I hiked the Grand Canyon with them twice and they're still just like new.

Fox River and Bridgedale. I only wear wool socks, even in the summer. I don't even own cotton socks. I have had one pair of Bridgedales for 7 years. Smartwools are great as well and I have some but they don't outlast the first two I mentioned.

smartwools are the bomb!!! But at half the price I buy Rocky wool hikers at the local big box mart and it works for my area!!! 85% or so Merino wool... 95% of the performance at a much lower price...

Smartwool and Filson. To me the Filson feel better.

I think icebreaker is the best when it comes to merino wool. Smartwool and wigwam are good for socks, although I have had some scent issues with smartwool products...never with icebreaker. Spendy though.
I wore one pair of wigwam socks on a 50 mile backpacking trip over 4 days. They were still keeping my feet comfy, dry, and semi non-stinky. I have gone a week wearing one sock on less intense trips and they smell fine afterwards. Crazy how well merino wool works.
