I have only done one brisket and am trying to figure out what I should get next time. So I see option likeacker, flat, whole, choice, select, prime. What is the best choice.

I like the packers (which is a whole brisket, with only the deckle removed, and will be sold in a sealed cryovac bag), and I prefer choice or higher.
If I do want to cook a flat, I'll still buy a whole one but I'll freeze the point, save up 2 or 3 and cook them all at the same time. The only thing I do non-typical is to make a straight cut when removing the point, instead of following the natural seam between the two muscles.
Here is a brisket chart I put together with some photo's, terms, and brisket lore regarding the left side brisket....
