I've been smoking butts for some time with no rub and a vinegar based sauce. I thought they were good until I tried the following rub: 2 parts Cookshack Spicy Chicken Rub, 1 part granulated garlic and 1 part brown sugar. Refrigerate overnight and smoke with pecan wood until done. I'll be ordering the 5lb jug of Chicken Rub soon. Gotta restock.
