Mai Kai - Jet Pilot - Tiki Drinks and Food

The first thing I noticed was it called for lemon rather than lime which was unlike any other recipe I've seen. And when comparing it to the Don/Bum recipes which call for light or gold Puerto Rican rum, this one asks for dark. I was stumped on what to use so I went with Coruba on top of the LH151 (instead of Puerto Rican 151) and the Myer's that it specifically called for (perhaps too much Jamaican dark?). All in all, it wasn't a bad drink. Complex flavors, but not a favorite to work into my rotation. I would like to experiment with the Mai Kai/Hayward tributes once I pick up some Smith & Cross since I don't think I can get Kohala Bay around here. Any suggestions on which white and gold PR rums would be best in this if I go the four rums/one fresh juice method?
