I'd probably like it as a side, but not on top. And it may be
traditional in Eastern Carolina. I've never had BBQ in that area.

When we lived in Ohio we always used Hellman's and now we use Best Food's
here in AZ. I can't tell them apart. I've never had the version made in
Canada.

My strong preference would still be Best Food's regular mayo, but when
you're trying to cut the fat you've got to use something. The "Just 2
Good" is absolutely the best reduced-fat mayo product I've tasted,
including the "light" versions, and it even has less fat than the light
versions. You might find that you don't like it or even hate it, but for
me it's better than going without.
