If for catering... I would definitely be looking for something that is set and forget. I don't want to be babysitting my stickburner for every catering job I land. Ole Hickory CTO would be a good choice for that price... can fit about 30 butts.
Although I haven't done the catering thing yet, I am in agreement with BBS about the stick-burner. What a show it puts on...I am dead set on a stick burner! When catering you should have people doing setup and people doing the cooking (YMMV). We try to keep stations seperate. For large parties or weddings, I rarely get to cook, I call on Country and also Mista for this. I am too busy doing other chit such as chatting with the client, supervising various stations, tablescapes, etc.
Of course this is my opinion time and time again, I just think stickburners offer the client something special versus an oven that receives pellets :twisted:

My thought is, if you are thinking of doing this all the time you will want somthing like an Ole' Hickory or Sothern Pride, unless you are doing compititions, if that is the case you CAN"T use those. The best part of those is you set it befor bed, wake up, & its done ! I do onsite cooking, so I use something with a little flare, I built a Lang clone 84 D. Folks that are paying you WANT to see you tend a fire, & do a little sweat'n. Thats why I charge a little more .... they get the show.
