Agreed on StL/KC/TX sauces. I can handle NC vinegar and AL white sauce (though it can be hit or miss), and NOT a fan of SC mustard sauce.
Sweet/tangy is my go to.
I also prefer the sauce on the side, as opposed to all over the meat during cooking. Sometimes I go to Franklin BBQ and get about halfway through the meal before I realize I haven't used any sauce.
I can make an exception for saucing during the cook...for pork ribs...that's a cut that can benefit from a glaze. There's a spot in St. Louis that my family loves, I've told
@RVACane about it, it's called Bogart's (by the Soulard Market). I realize that Bogart's is a part of the Pappy's family of restaurants, but they have some little differences at the various locations, and that particular Bogart's does an apricot glaze on the ribs that just sets them apart.
