brisket internal temps and finishing sauce

[Big Ir]

Hey all - I am cooking up a brisket and 2 pork butts for my parents 61st anniversary today. They have been smoking since 5p.m. last night. I have done brisket before although it has been a while. What is a good internal temp to pull the brisket out??? I remember in the 205 internal range, the meat, although tender falls apart when cutting. Also does any one know if there is a traditional sauce that accompanies brsket???

If you prefer to slice it, then the 180s would be good. My family eats it sliced with nuthin' on it, or sometimes with horseradish (if the brisket is nice and smokey cuz it tastes like ham), or sometimes on potato rolls with bbq sauce (like bone suckin' hot sauce) and cole slaw.
