I cannot tell the difference, and since there is pecan everywhere around here, I use that. My dad used to just walk around the yard picking up the sticks that fall all the time. he made great pork fingers with it.

I like to soak in a mixture of orange juice, milk and seasonings. Dry off and re-season before cooking. Smoke slow and spray apple juice on the skin from time to time. BBQ sauce of choice in the last 5 minutes, or when done, dip in a container of sauce, then foil for 10 minutes.
No offense, but this is a really good example of overthinking it.
The only way to go wrong is to overcook. I've soaked, not soaked, pre-coated with oil and not pre-coated, and tried a dozen combos of seasonings. The single most important thing is temp control.
Get your fire between 215-225 and make sure it stays there. This is why you pay a lot for a good smoker, and not a lot for a shitty one; insulation. Use a meat thermometer, put it as close to the bone as it will go, and when the chicken hits 155 degrees F, pull it off.
Like I said, I've tried everything I can think of as far as soaking and seasoning, but almost always the flavor comes from the smoke and everything else is just a compliment. Keep the temp steady and take them off at the right time and the only problem you'll have is getting them off the rack without them falling apart.
