Goose creek red was in favor for a few years on the forum before staghorn gained popularity again probably thanks in part to @ProZachJ and a few other members growing them. Both are listed as dark Virginians on northwood seeds. Both are unique in their classification. I've never had the opportunity to try goose creek red, but have been enamored with staghorn for the last 5 years. It's almost witchy like in the way it grows and its leaf forms. It's a fun one to grow if you enjoy watching how a plant grows and responds to its environment. Pretty neat plant to grow in my opinion, which is half the fun of growing your own. Also easy to cure and versatile in its uses, which is a big plus.
Someday I hope to try goose creek red and see how it compares. Maybe next year if space allows.
