If you don't taste or smell the difference, get the cheapest. We all
have different taste buds. On the other hand, whole peppercorns
pungency will last for a year or more. The ground pepper will be dull
when you buy it and will fade fairly quickly. I really love freshly
ground pepper smell and taste.
