Curious if everyone on this site falls into the homemade category?

I went with Memphis because that was where I learned and the closest style that I think my BBQ represents.

Guess I have to go with Memphis as well.
Back in the day, I used to sauce everything, but eventually decided that what I was liking was the sauce, and not necessarily the meat.
So, I just use rub now.
I do make sauce from time to time when having guests over if any of them want it.
Usually make a Carolina style and a KC style.
Plus always have a bottle of Stubbs on hand which gets used on occasion.

I grew up on a small town bbq sauce from Ville Platt Louisiana.  The sauce was labeled Pig Stand or Jack Miller.  I can't get any more so I occasionally do a clone copy of them.  Mostly onions, Lea & Perrins and tomato sauce or ketchup.
If I buy something from the store it's usually Dave's Natural Sweet.

I tend to go vinegar sauce on my pulled pork, but lean towards KC on most other meats.

Grew up in Texas before moving to Iowa. Everything was dry little to no sauce and more beef based . Got married to an Iowa gal who had kids and they all liked sweet, so changed up a tad to try to make everyone happy. Love BBQ so became a KCBS certified BBQ judge and realized my style wouldnt work. Switched to more KCBS when I started competing and of course way more pork.

After I quit competing and the kids are all on their own, Brisket is dry but the wife can do whatever she want with the ends, when I occasionally do pulled pork I top it with a vinegar sauce and coleslaw, Ribs are sweet and i seldom eat but my wifes favorite and chicken just depends on the cut. Halves nothing but rub, quarters rub, thighs and legs usually sauce and wings tossed in a hot sauce.

So not sure I answered correctly but I put a hybrid, i feel it is more hybrid now and has for sure evolved

I go hybrid. If I am feeling lazy, I reach for Sweet Baby Rays which is more of a Kansas City I think. But, my favorite thing is to BBQ is pork. Any pork will do but when I get to do a whole hog once a year I am just so happy. I don't get the love for brisket, I just love pig. Which I think puts me in the Carolina's. And if I am taking the time and not being lazy, then I lean toward the pepper vinegar or the mustard which are both Carolina.

I cook pretty much everything dry rub. Zero to a trace of sugar for beef, pork varies from that to some of the OakRidge rubs that have a fair amount of sugar, poultry is usually savory or spicy. Sauce is served on the side, mostly to please the girls. I pretty much only sauce burnt ends during cooking and once in a blue moon a rack of ribs. I’ll make or buy rubs of about any style to try, though probably lean towards Texas/Southwest styles. Most sweet usually has heat too.

I voted Hybrid.  Just about everything I put on the pit is with just a rub, that goes for beef, pork, chicken, fish, veggies.  The exception is ribs, because the family likes them sauced I do sauce ribs as a later part of the cook.  All others will be served with a side of sauce if neccessary.

I sat on this for a few days and ultimately chose Hybrid.

Brisket - Texas
Pork Butt and Ribs - Kansas sweet predominantly but with plenty of Eastern Carolina vinegar. 
Tri Tip - dry rub Southwestern
Chicken/Turkey - home made

I guess I'm all over the place.  Aside from smoked salmon, I cannot think of the Pacific Northwest as having a regional style.  So I use what I like from many regions.

Many more regional flavors folks use then I would have thought.  We do have a nice blend of users and tastes on this site!
