OP, I think it depends on how people are going to be dressed for the function. I personally love both fried chicken and brisket, and I love the idea of serving foods off the beaten path. (I never, ever want to see another chicken breast with wild rice again.) But if I'm all dressed up, I would find it really hard to eat fried chicken or a brisket in a sauce without at least one little drip or oil splotch on my clothes.

You can eat fried chicken with a knife and fork. It's not that messy!
