Bwarb and Utee:

Thanks for the comments.  They are consistent with a short video I saw from a guy who goes by something like Baby Back Bob.  He says that spare ribs used to have a big price advantage over baby backs, but now not so much.  Still, he prefers St. Louis-cut spare ribs.
My advice to you is to spend a lot of time carefully evaluating both options, in large quantities, until you decide which you prefer. 

As with many things, the more data points the better!

Prefer St Louis spare BUT,  certain folks don't like dealing with the fat and cartlidge.   Bummer.

If the spares are butchered St. Louis style there shouldn't be much cartilage.  And when slow-smoked the fat should render down to almost nothing, as well. I absolutely hate eating chunks of unrendered fat, that's why I don't like ribeye steaks, but I've never had a problem with St. Louis style spare ribs.

Yeah.. ribeye steaks. I always go to medium when I cook them. The fat is still there, but more rendered. Still have to cut around it though. I rarely get ribeye. Lately we've been doing strips. Can't find flat iron around here yet.

Right now I've got a flank steak marinating. Anyone ever use this stuff? It's really fantastic for tougher cuts. I normally let it go for longer than "minutes" because I've tried that and the results are much better if you let it go all day.

Yeah I do strips for the most part.  Wife and daughter love tenderloin even though it lacks flavor.  They love the tenderness and texture.

I like flat iron too.  And we do lots of skirt and flank, but that usually ends up in tacos.

I prefer my rib eyes cut out of a nice prime rib

gives more time for the fat to render

I'm a strip and porterhouse guy

followed by sirloin
