Pork butt for bacon is AMAZING -- blows away any pork belly bacon I've bought from the store. I like the relative leanness of the pork butt as well. I fry it in some peanut oil. I get more meat for my dollar.
Btw, I only spend $1.45/lb on pork butt.
I'll have to try jowl some time .. how much does it cost per pound? I am guessing it is fattier than pork butt .. don't know how fatty the jowl is compared to pork belly though. Never bought or cooked a jowl before.
