Ribeye is my favorite, especially since they (often) are boneless. They can run $12-$15# (GB area) if not on sale. Porterhouse is probably my 2nd favorite. My wife is a fan of NY Strip Steak which is essentially a less fatty ribeye. Sirloin is decent, especially if you're going to marinade it.
I generally don't do condiments since the meat itself is good and juicy. If I do its usually A1. I've done pork steaks and then will use BBQ sauce. So far Mad Dog & Merrill and Big Bob Gibson's BBQ have been some of my favs.
I don't have any tricks really. I'll sometime turn 90 degrees every few minutes to get steak lines.
If I have people over, I'll generally get all the same unless somebody has a strong preference. If no sale, I'll go sirloin since its boneless and often cheaper than my other favorites.
