I've cooked many a brisket on my WSM which is a vertical bullet style charcoal smoker.

Hey dude, welcome! Just build the damn thing, lol.
It doesn’t matter which route you go. Different taste for different folks. I built a mini weber smoky mountain about 6 years ago and I own a vertical MES 30. Both are great and I use both depending on what I want to achieve. It doesn’t matter which option you choose, as long as you make it work for your needs.
