I tend to use Appleton Estates Extra (12 YO) and Saint James Hors D'Age exclusively for my Mai Tais. I've never substituted any other Martinique rum for the Hors D'Age but I have used Coruba in it's place when I've run out of Hors D'Age. I've never been overly fond of Meyer's dark and just don't usually pick up any Cruzan - don't know why . . . I just don't. I never substitute anything else for the 12 year old Appleton . . . unless it's going to be the 21 year old Appleton - but I haven't yet - maybe on my deathbed!
In the past, I have mixed various combinations of rum . . . but now I'm pretty much settled on the two I first mentioned above.
