Crab Claws: To Old Bay or J.O.?

I love steamed crab claws. In fact, nothing is quite as delicious as sitting down and enjoying a few with a tall frosty beer. I like to dip my claw meat in a little bit of white vinegar and then into a bowl of Old Bay. When I was explaining this to a friend last week they stared me straight in the eye and said, "are you kidding me? It's J.O. all the way." Well needless to say that conversation went on for quite some time and in the end after breaking a few claws together we agreed to disagree.

I had so much fun with this conversation this holiday I have decided to set up a blind taste test with my family and friends. I suspect it's going to get quite heated and be lots of fun too. (I'll probably have to hide the mallets if it gets out of control!)
