Ribs - Spares/Baby Backs Sauced/Unsauced??

[Mixmaster]

After reading the steak thread and seeing the response from one about ribs. I have to ask (I am aware that this could start problems as each part of the country feels THEIR WAY is best)

Spare Ribs or Baby Backs?
Sauced or Bare??
If Sauced, Tomato or Mustard based sauce??? (I do know about mayonnaise based sauces)

I'll start:
Spare ribs, sauced with a tomato base. Though I have a great bottle of mustard based BBQ sauce from Louisville which I don't want to use it all up as it's that good!!!

I await your replies.

Spare or baby back, love them both. I perfer a vinegear based sauced like I had last night.

I'm not a rib person. What's the difference between spare ribs and baby back ribs?

Baby Back, Sauced, Ketchup based.

Pork spare ribs*, marinated (no sauce 'til it's time to eat), and a ketchup-based bbq sauce at the table.


*I'm not a rib nazi by any means though. Baby back will be just fine too.

Dry rack of ribs from Sticky Fingers, preferably in downtown Charleston, SC, but from any Sticky Fingers will do, even the one in town here.
