Grade does not matter on brisket. I've done both with equally good results.
The trick is to cook it long enough to break down the collagen. If you are
using a thermometer, take it off at 192 to 195. If not stick a fork in it
and you should be able to turn it fairly easily. Let it stand and slice
thin across the grain.
