My favorite shoe to jam with is my Evolv Raves. I sized them right for an all day climbing slipper. Because of this they are not super great to heel hook with, but do everything else great.

A good all day shoe is one that is comfortable enough to wear all day. Sure you can slip it off at belays and give yourself a break but it still needs to get put back on, pitch after pitch after pitch. That and you'll be cramming it into cracks a lot during the day.
The one that I use for stuff like that is the Evolve Quest AF. It's stiff enough to pull a few face moves and jams cracks very well. It's a bit of an anomaly because it's not a high performance shoe but you can climb very hard cracks with it.
It's not a bouldering shoe. Unless you are doing some crack bouldering.
I own like 10 pairs of shoes. All have a different job. I'd suggest that you start adding to your own collection. Get a crack shoe and bouldering shoe. It's good for the economy.

anasazi vcs. i own a pair of 9 and a pari of 8.5's and choose which pair based on how thin the route is. I pretty much have to take them off at belays though.

For the most part, "all-day trad" and "bouldering" are as mutually exclusive as categories can get. Unless, of course, by "bouldering" you mean an extensive circuit of easier problems, done with no pad, in which you are looking for shoes with ample heel padding that you can walk from boulder to boulder in.
