To season with a butt or not to season with a butt

I'm getting ready to season my new Amerique and have read many posts about seasoning a new smoker. To smoke with a butt or without? I know that this has been a question of several posts, but there has been no definitive answer. Is this only a preference or does the pork fat really season the smoker better? If I do season the Q with the butt, should I leave it in their plain or should I throw some rub on there? Will the rub in fact give the smoker more "flavor"? Thanks, any opinions would be appreciated.
