I would say Russ is lucky!! The only briskets our two SAM's carries is Select packers and Choice Flats. They do carry decent Ribs though, IBP if I'm lucky. I have been lucking into some 3 pack spares that were almost 18lbs (6 lbs each) that were trimmed into VERY nice SL. I have to admit I am becoming a SL convert over loin backs.....
