Braised Short Ribs

I'm currently kickin' it in Vancouver, at the Fairmont Pacific Rim where room service offers up a version of poutine with 24 hour braised short ribs.  While it wasn't the best poutine I've had, it was still tasty, and mmmm, short ribs.  I found way too many versions, and now that I have my slow cooker back I'd love to whip up a batch some night.  But which to choose?!  And dare I serve it on top of fries and cheese curd?  I can hear South Beach scowling at me from here - so maybe just some mashed sweet potatoes.

Braised Short Ribs with Mushrooms?!
Scott's Short Ribs from Ina Garten?!
The recipe that some spammer posted to all of the other short rib recipes saying it was better?!
