The answer to this question depends on what you're looking for in a rib. Baby back ribs are the most popular, and they're meatier and have a more delicate flavor than spareribs.  Bone-in ribs are meatier than either baby backs or spareribs and have a more pronounced flavor. If you're looking for something that's easy to eat and doesn't have a lot of meat on it, spareribs are the way to go.
