    Butt rub, plowboys bovine bold, plowboys yardbird. These are my standards. I do enjoy using others though. The level of heat and whether you plan on saucing are big factors, and of course your palate. Just like whiskey or wine, one likes what they like.

    I use Lantana of Texas.  Never been there but, they make an awesome salt free rub.
    I order it online at:

    lantanaoftexas.com

    I don't know why they parade it for diabetics (even though I am one) but, it is my preferred all purpose rub.  It's especially good for pastrami since it is salt free.

    Received some Williams-Sonoma Argentine rub for Xmas.  Great on steaks.  Went to get some more and I passed...they are too proud of it-makes all the DP rubs look extremely reasonable price-wise. 
    Louisville;  L & S BGEs, PBC, Lang 36; Burnin' wood in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer.

    I've heard great things about Plowboy's. I've been using Rudy's Rub on most things.

    I've asked this same question before, you'll probably get a vast array of answers.

    As for my advice, look for John Henry's rubs, especially the Mojave garlic, Texas Chicken Tickler and Maple sugar for beef, chicken and pork respectively.

    I use this for all three and no it will not taste like coffee. Coffee Rub (turkey, chicken, beef & pork) Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee Equal part: Brown Sugar ½ part: Black Pepper ½ part: Kosher Salt ½ part: Garlic Powder ¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area ( have used both light or dark version). I make it starting with a half cup Instant Expresso Ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.

    Oakridge Secret Weapon ,John Henry's Pecan and Dizzy Pig Raging River pretty much cover it for me...

    I like the Simply Marvelous rubs. Great flavors. Get the sampler which includes shakers from the whole line, not just little samples.

    DP Raisin the steaks or Uncle Chris' Steak seasoning on beef. I like the DP Raging River on chicken and turkey and Tsunami Spin on wings. I am experimenting with TX BBQ Rub.

    I want to try the tasty licks products at some time.

    Mickey's coffee rub is absolutely fantastic. I use it on chicken, beef and pork. It has a great taste and just enough heat for the more timid (I like it hot but not everyone does). If you have a "fancy" burr coffee grinder, you can set it at the finest grind and use that instead of instant. 

    The measurements seem to shift some. Here's the version I use:
    INGREDIENTS: 

    1/4 cup salt 

    1/2 cup brown sugar 

    1/2 cup ancho-chili powder 

    1/2 cup expresso ground (very fine) Coffee. (Has red,yellow&green label)

    1/4 cup garlic powder 

    1/4 cup ground black pepper 

    Procedure: 

    1 Mix all and keep in an air tight container.
