The MEC Splash, Secteur and Derecho pants all look pretty good. I have an older pair of MEC rain pants that are similar to both the Splash and the Derecho. Good pants.
This is my method as well, except I have RainMates instead of Rainlegs. The difference being that the RainMates have lower leg coverage as well. I also use my RainMates in the winter as wind pants.

My full coverage rain pants are something that I got at the local outpost of the Evil Empire (aka WalMart).
