Any pig is all about what they are fed. There have always been such things as lard hogs. I personally want to look at the pig I'm buying to barbeque, on the hoof. Most who know about cooking hogs, prefer a "piney woods rooter" or leaner hog.
Not all hogs are created equal, but they are all delicious if you know how to feed and handle them for slaughter and processing.
