I've smoked about a dozen pork shoulders in my smokers since I got my first one last year, and rub (when I use it) doesn't seem to have any effect on the end flavor at all. I brine the pork overnight in salt water and molasses, then I put on the rub, then it goes into the smoker for however long it takes.
I get a nice smoke flavor, but the various off the shelf rubs I've used never seem to add any flavor. Is there some trick to using them besides sprinkling on a heavy coat and slamming it in the smoker?
