Which is better to use for chopped pork? Is there a big difference?

They be the same animal. Shouldn't be any difference.

Like 10.5 said, its the same part of the animal.

Also called Boston roast, Boston shoulder roast, pork butt, shoulder roast, shoulder balde roast,
country roast. ;D

I couldn't figure out why it was called a Boston Butt... It came from the wrong end of the animal... but my Butcher explained that it was the butt end of the shoulder as opposed to the shank end ... Doh!
