Personally I'd avoid the jboots. I started kiting with SoW pots at first and went from 20-30 with only one death (but I'd take hits here and there). By the time you get to 30 and go to FV you really cant afford that however.
I found that the best way to kite as a bard was to actually strafe run without selos, sow, or jboots. Just plain old strafe running in a big circle. You save the money and you actually keep a really good distance thats easily adjustable by either making the loop smaller or larger.
Granted, I still see bards using selos/sow/jboots so there has to be some draw, I've just found its much easier to kite without them unless you're using something to automate your circles.
