I'm whipping up this recipe tomorrow but don't really want cascade.

I'm leaning more towards the challenger as they supposedly have a spicy character that I think will mix well with the rye.

However another option I am considering is mixing equal proportions of the two and using the mix as one entity.

Here is the hopping schedule FWIW

1oz - 60min
.75 - 15min
.75 - 5
 
I had a great rye with all chanllanger at Magnolia in SF. I'd probably add a dose at flameout as well if you want a hoppy aroma (and/or dry hops might be nice as well).
