re: Rubs for grilling.

I grilled some dino ribs the other day and used The Salt Lick Garlic Dry Rub.

I'm generally pretty rigid on red meat doing salt, pepper, and if you're going to add anything else, onion powder or garlic. But mostly just salt and pepper. But the garlic dry rub was fantastic.

For pork, fish and chicken, I usually go with a teriyaki sauce or a brown sugar base rub.

This is a rough recipe I use for non beef rubs. I make a large batch of it and keep it handy.

Kansas City Rub

I cycle through a bunch of rubs. I get tired of the same flavors.

Some I use

Kinder's Steak Blend
Weber Gourmet Burger
Bad Byron's Butt Rub (very good on everything)
Billy's Slappin Spice Rub for beef

I like getting new rubs and trying them.
