I have such an arsenal of gloves, mitts, overgloves, overmitts, goretex shell mitts that it takes me 10 minutes to put on a pair in the morning. I have the PI amfib lobsters. They are good, but for me they are no warmer than the $9 hunting gloves from Wal-mart. They do have a lot more reflective materials. One of the big problems I have is remembering to rotate gloves so they can dry, otherwise the insulation gets sweaty and clammy. It takes them about 2 days to really dry, so it is a good thing that the Walmart gloves are about as warm as the PI's. I use leather work gloves over thin stretch mini gloves from 40 to 35, switch to insulated gloves/mitts at 35 down to 20. Below 20 I use Outlast liners, then heavy wool mitts, then leather "chopper" mitts. Below 10 I pull the barends off my bike and put on the "Bullwinkle" pogies. With those on I can go back to a pair of wool gloves or even just the mini gloves. A lot of the heat loss is at your wrists so long liner gloves or shirts with the thumbhole in the cuff are really helpful. The real key element is windproof. Avoid neoprene, they get very clammy and tend to make your fingers cramp. Finally, don't take anything I say too seriously, everyone's hands feel the cold differently and what works for me may be rubbish for you.
