PSA: I chose a full packer brisket over just the flat for a cookout last weekend.

I mean, the flat is easier but the point has so much more flavor, idk. Anyone else have a strong preference on this cut?

Totally read that the point holds way more fat for flavor.

My buddy tried the flat once and said it was like eating a sad, dry sponge... never made that mistake again.

Oh, absolutely. You see this everywhere, people going for the easier, leaner option because it seems simpler. The flat is like buying boneless skinless chicken breasts every time. Sure, it's hard to mess up, but you're missing all the good stuff that makes it worth eating. Choosing the point is a commitment to actual flavor, even if it takes more work. It's a small stand against the bland, convenient choice. Good on you.
