I prefer Thorlo light hikers for hot weather. They are comfortable, prevent blisters, handle sweat well, and seem to keep my feet cooler than wool sock. However, when the weather cools off, I switch to wool socks. I have smartwool light hikers, smartwool hikers, and the Sams Club brand. All of them are comfortable, but I actually like the Sams club socks the best. They are cheaper than Smartwool, if you can find them, wear really well, and for me are warmer because they deal with sweat better. The only negative is that they are not quite as soft as the Smartwool.
