Regular "yellow" mustard is the standard. Haven't done lamb so can't help there.

I did a leg of lamb quite a while ago and used this recipe. I used an Alton Brown recipe. It was good but not great.

In OZ it is probably called mild american mustard. This is the standard.

Never tried the technique on lamb.

I have tried different mustards as a binder for the rub. I could not taste any difference. I personally do not think the mustard imparts any flavor to the bark, however, make sure it is a light coat just enough to hold the rub on the meat.

went with the Dijon Mustard with a cumin black pepper coriander rub. cooking in the GA. with a chunk of Hickory. smells YUM

Sean, I use Zatarain's Creole Mustard for Butts and brisket. I find it binds the rub to the meat very well and helps to develop good bark. I bewleive it would work well for lamb (assuming you are not going for a Greek style)...
