Coming from a Texas 'que heritage, I always have held to the belief and opinion that a piece of meat that has to be slathered with sauce got screwed up somewhere before it was plated. I would like to find a place out there that runs a good mesquite pit and did a brisket with that excellent smoke ring served up on butcher paper.
To me, it is all about the wood and the rub...and then let the meat speak for itself.
If someone has to have sauce, make sure it is on the side and NOT covering the plated meal. At least then you get a better feel for whether the pitmaster knew what they were doing
