I use only lump, even in the WSM's. I like it better. For the WSM's, it's not so much about whether or not it burns hotter, but catching the temps on the way up and adjusting the intakes to settle in at your desired temps. After a few runs this way you'll probably wonder why you ever used briqs. Be careful about adding too much smoking wood though, lump gives off a bit more smoke flavor than briqs, but you'll probably be fine unless you are real keen on lightly smoked food.
