Any recommendations for a good boot? Lighter is better, but the top priorities are ankle support and traction, in that order.

Any sort of backpacking boots, such as Salomon Quest 4D will offer superior ankle support. If you research a few outdoor companies, they offer a variety of backpacking boots.
I have tried the AKU Pilgrims on, and they are a good choice (built like a backpacking boot).
However, would not recommend any style of desert boot, with a flexible canvas upper for your application.
