+1 for the baby backs. The others are ok, but if I get my choice it's definitely bb's.
Ha ha, I am the other way.  I look for St. Louis ribs before BB's.  Nothing against the BB's but I like the St L's better.

+1 for baby backs, as you know from my previous post.  None of my spares have been half as good.  Before my own smoking attempts with both , I always preferred spares.

I saw that too Dave. I plan on being among their first customers in the morning. Practice, practice, practice. Tough job but somebody has got to do it.

I'm pretty agnostic on this debate. I like baby backs and SLC's. Usually comes down to what's available in my grocery store and how they look. I'm not a smart man nor a talented man, but my ribs kick ass regardless of type.

My local Sam's switched to Smithfield 3 packs of back ribs about a month ago.  They were OK, but sure weren't as meaty as the IBP brand they had always had.  Last weekend, I saw they switched back - woo hoo!  The 3 pack was more than a pound heavier than the Smithfields (9.64 lbs for 3 racks).  There was SO much meat on them I darn near had to get out a knife and cut them like a steak! lol. 

I've said all that to say it only reaffirmed my preference for back ribs over spares!  They were awesome!
