Default Spices to add to burger mixture?

The obvious is SPG or SPOG, but what else to add some "pop" to the flavor?

The beef is high quality so I don't want to overpower that flavor, but I'm thinking there's got to be a little something something to take the flavor profile of the burger to the next level.

Thoughts?

No mixture as you don't want meatloaf. Keep the meat - meat, and focus on the quality and fat ratio. Liberally season with salt before you put on grill. Just my experience.

Extras can go on post the cook - SPG included.

I’ve thrown a little paprika and/or Worcestershire in with the SPOG from time to time, but I normally try to keep burger spices simple. I made & froze a batch last year with a couple 45-day dry-aged ribeyes mixed in (~25%) and they were awesome.

Some salt and maybe a little pepper along with a nice crusty sear is about all a burger needs in my opinion. Let the meat shine through.

Dale's steak seasoning. It's really salty, so no other salt is needed.

For that “pop” in a burger. Toss a pinch of cavenders in there. As said before Worcestershire goes in mine and cavenders. Try it. Just did some Friday this way. Delicious!

My usual mix for anything beef is SPOG plus coriander, and maybe coffee. All of these are fresh ground coarsely from whole spices though, YMMV with preground powders.

Rather than messing with seasonings/herbs/spices, play around with different cuts, brisket/chuck/plate ... and maybe some pork or lamb percentages. All with just S&P.

Of course, this is presuming you are grinding your own meats.
