I'm attempting to build a robust porter recipe and I would like help deciding which is more appropriate for the style; Black Patent or Dehusked Carafa III?

Black Patent Option:
76.8% 2-Row
10.1% Dark Munich
6.1% Crystal 40
4.0% Chocolate
3.0% Black Patent

Dehusked Carafa III Option:
78.4% 2-Row
10.3% Dark Munich
6.2% Crystal 40
3.1% Dehusked Carafa III
2.1% Chocolate
 
I vote for your black patent option. You need to have the roast that comes from more chocolate and the black patent for a robust porter. My porter is close to the same recipe and has 5% chocolate and 3% black patent. Its roasty but not burnt.
