Personally, I wouldn't bother with marinating a brisket since the flavors will not penetrate very much into the meat.
Injecting would be a better option if your're trying to get flavorings down into the meat.
Agree on injecting over marinade/dry brine but a looong brine will work much better than night before. Running oak should give you some bourbon flavor influence as bourbon is aged on oak.
