This is a video link to RW's 2011 pick of trail runner shoes. Keep in mind you have to first suffer through a 30 second ad.

On a personal note and on a slightly different topic, I used the Adidas SuperNovas for the first couple hundred miles that I hiked on the AT. While I liked them ok for trail running, I've never felt good wearing trail runners while hiking. My pack weight is about 27 lbs which includes 4 days food and 2 liters water, so maybe I'm too big (210 lbs) or carry too much weight for trail runners to be optimal. I now hike in North Face boots and my feet feel better.
For off-road running, I"m currently using Brooks, mostly because they're one of the few brands that offer narrow widths.
