The recent thread about BBQ ribs has inspired me to try them in my oven. I need help deciding whether to get beef or pork so...
Which do you like best and why?

Beef short ribs can be tough and have substantial silver-skin on them. They are IMHO best when braised. Pork ribs are more tender. But when picking pork ribs, I shy away from baby back ribs as they have less meat on them and more bone. They are also more expensive than pork spare ribs. But, they are more heavily advertised and so are in more demand. I like this as regular pork spare ribs are superior to baby back ribs. just remember, on the grill, in the oven, or on a spit, ribs are to be cooked low and slow, with smoke. Sauce during the last 10 minutes or so of cooking time to avoid burning the sugar in the sauce. Burnt sauce isn't so tasty.

One thing I don't like my ribs to be is 'fall-off-the-bone' tender. You often get that when you foil them too long.
