Advice on Meat Placement During Cook

Ok. I am planning on cooking to ~9 pound butts, and a brisket overnight late next week in the 2 Star. I have two upper half racks. Would it be best to cook the brisket over the butts, the butts over the brisket, or does it matter? Also, how much longer should I expect the cook to last? I have only done a single butt overnight before. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Personally, I would do the brisket over the butts, as you want the brisket to come out pretty for slicing, while no one cares what a butt looks like, as it will be torn to pieces and tossed in a pan.

I just read BP's brisket tips again and realized I may not put the brisket with the butts over night. I will probably run the butts over night, then put the brisket on first thing in the morning. Everything just needs to be done by 3:30 p.m.
