Which brisket to buy
I have a couple options to choose from and would appreciate any input.
I can get whole, untrimmed at 1.79 per for ~70 lbs
Or I can get trimmed, nose off angus at 2.69 per for ~50 lbs. I could really use the wisdom of the regulars.

Personally, I would go with the whole if you're planning on smoking it. The trimmed, nose off if you're planning more of a wet cooking style. The Whole really melts after a long smoking, and the saved money, extra meat will pay itself back in dividends.

I assume you mean 7.0 and 5.0 else you are about to buy the briskets from Paul Bunyon's Blue OX.
Get the whole untrimmed briskets. You want the fat. -
It's 7, 10-12 pounders of untrimmed or 12 4-5 pounders of trimmed

It's unanimous then. Thanks to all for helping out the new guy. I'm sure I'll be consulting you often.
