    Grocery store prime for me.

    I'm fortunate to have HEB as my grocery store.  Their "Prime 1" is better than any prime I've ever had.  However, if I didn't have really good knowledge/experience with the prime source, I'd be tempted to go with SRF choice.

    Give the grocery store prime a look.  The marbling will tell the story.

    And while you are inspecting the marbling like @lousubcap suggested read the fine print to see if those steaks are blade tenderized. Depending on where the steaks were tenderized and packaged there is ALWAYS the chance any surface bacteria got pushed into the meat. Some people don't care, but if you like rare steaks there is always a chance it could make a difference to "immunity challenged" folks.
