Yellow mustard works nice with no taste.I would use it lightly.

thanks man!  not sure why i questioned it at the last minute.  Ill get some pics of this cook up later.  i think its gonna be a good one. 
 
I'm not sure how the whole mustard thing got started but I've never seen the need for it or anything else for that matter. There has never been a chunk of meat that crossed my path that wasn't moist enough to hold the rub all by itself. 
 
After some tests, mustard does cause a dark exterior than just plain rub. It makes sense really. The wetter the meat is the dark it gets.
