QOTD: Which is worse: tough pork ribs or dried-out brisket?

This is an easy one for me. There is nothing I hate more on a BBQ plate than a tough, chewy pork rib. There is nothing worth doing with it. On the other hand, if I get some bone-dry sliced or chopped beef, at least I can get some sauce, pickles, & onions and make a passable sandwich out of it. What say you? Which one would you rather have: a tough, chewy pork rib or dried-out brisket?

Twitter reply: "BRISKET, cause you can put the ribs for half an hour in boiling water, to make them yummy! ;o)"

Twitter reply: " I say brisket is worse. Means someone spent even longer screwing good food up!"

Twitter reply: "guess I would have to side with you. A chopped briskest sandwich is still a good lunch."

Twitter reply: "Brisket. You can cook the ribs a little longer. Brisket can't be uncooked. If in a restaurant - no difference."

Twitter reply: "Chewy ribs; they can't be salvaged. I would chop the dry brisket and sauce it, maybe add it to a potato."

Ribs. I actually had some ribs that I un-intentionally overcooked; had an emergency and had to leave them in the smoker. When I got back hours later, they literally shattered when I dropped one of them onto the patio.

Twitter reply: "gonna go with tough ribs are worse. Dry brisket can be doused in sauce as emergency mitigation."
