I prefer corned beef. A good corned beef reuben is a thing of beauty.
I dig pastrami, I just like corned beef better. And for a real treat, corned tongue. I remember going to a law firm holiday party when I was about 12 -- my mom was a secretary in the firm. The huge party platter had a big section of corned tongue. The only folks who ate it were the 70 year old jewish managing partner and me. He saw me loading up, and commented how we were the only folks eating it -- we ended up shooting the **** for 20 minutes about all the wierd stuff we liked to eat.
