You're probably not going to get a single pair of gloves that covers all your requirements.
Welders gauntlets are often recommended as they have a number of useful properties.
1. They are easy to get off your hands - you might pick up something really hot and just shaking your hand should part you from the glove.
2. They are cheap - why not carry two pairs on wet days for a welcome change when they get wet.
They also have some poor properties - you don't have fine finger control, they can get a bit sticky in warm weather.
BUT, if you choose to go for a closer fitting glove, say Ringers, then you must accept the risk that if you pick up something hot, or get hot liquid (oil) on them, you're susceptible to a burn. Also, sharp items will certainly get through the Mechanix gloves.
For wet weather, you can sometimes retract your hands into your coat arms and keep gloves dry. Or, keep them off and inside your coat - on the basis you will use the 5-10 seconds it takes to put them on to assess whatever incident you're about to deal with.
