thats where fleece pants really shine by having them OUTSIDE your gaiters the water doesnt go into boots. tall gaiters are no problem at all if you get set that stay up,and Ive found all sorts of ways to do this over the years,soccer shin pads worked with elcheapho canvas ones... the really cheap ones I now use have velcro full length up front and they stay up really well. I have put long johns over gaiters but it stretches them and they get beaten up terribly.
