I've seen a consensus, around here, in favor of Coruba. But, at the risk of seeming "common", I've used Myers's as my primary "dark Jamaican" for over 30 years. And I've had Coruba in my bar, sporadically, during that time. But Myers's has always been more available here in Texas.
The knock on Myers's is that it's 'sweet' or 'molasses-y'. Maybe, but tiki drinks - though not the syrupy messes some mistakenly imagine and concoct - tend not to be especially 'dry', as cocktails go.
