I tend to like my beans on the spicier side, so I usually use things like coffee, beer, adobo or moritas to flavour mine, though I do sometimes do a Dr. Pepper bean. I often do them in the smoker right beside the meat.

I don't use mesquite much. I find it a bit sharp for my tastes. Lately I have been using a lot of neutral to sweetish woods. Pecan and alder are my default woods but I have been using oak for the homemade hams. I also use the wood from the Saskatoonberry bushes in my yard. It is really resinous, as most fruit wood is, so I can generate a lot of smoke with it. It is really nice for bison, elk and venison and pretty good for beef.

I agree on the beans, not a fan of the super sweet variety.

Regarding wood; I find mesquite to be a good balance between harsher woods like hickory and to a lesser extent oak and sweeter fruit woods. I mainly use apple when smoking pork.

Also, I think the mesquite works well with my brisket rub (this is a new iteration I'm playing with):

Brisket Rub #2
6 Tbsp Kosher salt
3 Tbsp Brown sugar
2 Tbsp Garlic powder
1 Tbsp paprika
4 Tsp Coarse ground black pepper
2 Tsp cayenne
1 Tsp onion powder
1/2 Tsp ground white pepper
1/2 Tsp ground mustard
1/2 Tsp lemon pepper
1/4 Tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 Tsp ginger
