Help me decide bw short rib recipes!

Hi everyone, I've lurked a long time on Chow but have my first question. I'd like to make short ribs for my wifes bday. I am a pretty reasonable home cook but I've never ever made short ribs. From looking at the boards I think I've narrowed it down to 3 recipes but I'd like some opinions from people who could help me compare them. They are the Goin, Stevens, and Bouloud recipes. It seems like they all have their fans, but id love to hear some thoughts on which might be the best taking into account this is my virgin experience. And I'm also curious to hear why people have liked one recipe over another. Despite never making them myself, short ribs are one of my favoritest foods so hearing the reasons why people favor certain recipes might help me decide which we'd like best in my house.

Thanks in advance for advice!
