It really depends on what your cooking. This is my personal opinion but you don't buy a $15 steak only to drown it in other flavors. For expensive steaks all you need is some simple fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt. O0 A good cut of meat should stand alone.

Marinades and rubs are good for cheaper cuts of meat like London Broil, Ribs, Chicken etc.

Bullseye grilled onion and garlic showdown BBQ sauce is the best for grilling :)
