Looking for pork chop cook recommendations

I picked up three bone in pork chops (about 1.75" thick) from a specialty butcher yesterday. I put them in a brine this morning and I have a few rubs that I will try. But I'm looking for some recs on the actual cook. Dome temps / meat temps / method - reverse sear? Regular sear? etc. What's your fav or recommended way to cook chops like these?  Wifey is really looking forward to these so don't want to screw them up =) Thanks so much.

    You are off to a great start with the brine.  This is the way I always do thick pork chops:

    The basics: reverse sear, finish in a hot CI pan in bacon grease.  They are always super tender and delicious.
