FWIW, Wookey Jack is my favorite Firestone Walker offering, though Parabola is a close second. I think that is only because I've had a number of great RISs, but the Wookey stands head and shoulders above any other black ale/black ipa I've had. Admittedly, it's not a hugely popular style.

Have you tried both American and English Barleywines? Despite being a huge hop-head, I prefer English BWs, which are much sweeter/smoother than their American counterparts. Barrel age an English BW, and I'm in heaven.
Sucaba is definitely my favorite BA BW, and Parabola is definitely in the running for my fav BA RIS, but that's a much more crowded field.
