Which do you prefer?
I am currently leaning towards St. Louis cut spares. I've cooked a lot of baby backs, but since I have learned to trim to St. Louis cut, it seems I buy more spares. I find that I can buy full slabs of spares, and even if I trim them and throw the scraps away, they cost me no more than a slab of baby backs, and the St. Louis cut spares have more meat on them.
