Help Me Create a Rib Marinade/Dry Rub

I want to create a spicy root beer marinade/sauce for ribs, followed by a rub.

I've looked at various recipes online and want to create my own, so I was hoping I could get some guidance from the experienced smokers here.

So far the ingredients I have in mind for the marinade:

Root Beer
Honey Bourbon
apple cider vinegar
brown sugar
root beer extract
bay leaf (just for experimentation)
habanero pepper sauce
Worcestershire
half the juice of a lemon and zest

For the dry rub:

ancho chile powder
onion powder
garlic powder
course ground black pepper
mustard powder
white sugar
brown sugar
crushed red pepper
smoked paprika
chinese 5-spice (to play off the root beer)

Critique and tear it apart.

I'm also debating whether to turn the marinade into a bbq sauce. Either use the marinade to spray the ribs while on the smoker, or use bbq sauce to baste the ribs.
