But I'm going to have to say, I'm definitely brisket first, and I think ribs second with butt in third.  Just not the wow factor there.  

I think the ceiling on a pork butt is lower than that of say a brisket. Pork butt is harder to screw up but im just not sure an average pork butt tastes a whole lot different than a phenomenal pork butt. You know what I mean?
