I normally use black pepper in my rubs, but I started wondering what kind of flavor red pepper would give to my rubs. Does one have a better flavor than the other? Let me know what you guys think about this.
 
I agree. I also think that black pepper has flavor with some heat, red pepper (cayenne) heat with some (but not much) flavor. I rarely use cayenne in my rubs unless heat is all or mostly what I'm looking for (which in some, it is). I use other ground chilies far more because of the flavor and heat they bring to the rub. Ancho, New Mexico, Guajillo, Aleppo--all these, and others, I like much more than cayenne.
