Volt,

Should I stick with the hickory or toss in a mix of hickory and mesquite?

A lot of that is personal taste, so hard to recommend... Sorta like a Olivao Bold or an Oliva V Maduro - both tasty.

If you not familiar with mesquite and it's profile and since this is your first go, run with the hickory. More people are used to it's flavors.

Hickory is a safe bet always, especially for a new guy who may not be accustomed to the rich smokey flavors some woods can produce on the meat.
