Last time I was at TV's in Atlanta, I spoke to the bartender about the TV Mai Tai, and he told me they import a special rum not generally available in the US specifically for the Mai Tai -- Rhum Negrita http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sku=00000058916&area=spirits&category=30050000&sid=03&catname=Rum The Grog Log describes it as a "harsh, candy like substance" that should be avoided. I'm curious, though. My favorite Mai Tai is the Mai Kai's.
