Go for a T-bone. You get a bone-in strip cut closer to the rib (more flavor) than the Porterhouse and still get a bit of bone-in tenderloin which helps to add some flavor and offers a contrast to strip alone. Plus, when you are done you get to pick up the bone and gnaw off all of the goodness that your fork and knife couldn't get.

Strip for me. Fillet is about tenderness, not flavor. I'll take the strip anyday. In fact, I'd happily take skirt steak over fillet anyday.

The PH is a combo plan. On one side of the bone is the strip and the other side the fillet. So it's sorta like a surf and turf with all meat.

I like the PH because it gives me both. I normally start with a taste of the fillet side to get a feel for the flavor. Then jump to the strip side and finish back with the fillet side.

The strip side should have more texture and flavor and the fillet side should be more buttery.

I prefer a porterhouse over a strip steak.

With a porterhouse steak, you get both the strip steak and the tenderloin, which is more tender and juicy.
