I don't know what I should use in a dry rub. All of the recipes that I looked at have said
>brown sugar
I went to a store, and they had light and dark brown sugar. Does it really matter which one I use?
do not, DO NOT, use light brown sugar. ONLY use dark brown sugar. seriously.

Brown sugar is just regular white granulated sugar with molasses added. Light has less, dark has more (or differently processed molasses).
Using one or the other wouldn't matter unless it matters to you. Personally, my palate wouldn't be able to tell the difference, considering all of the other flavors in the rib rub.
