Me thinks Peter jests. I will, however, add some historical facts that may help in the decision process. Mayo is basically egg and oil. Miracle Whip originated in Area 51 and was released publically in an effort to alter our DNA. Consumption of the evil Miracle Whip concoction has resulted in varied physical results ranging from cleft anus to an overwhelming desire to run for public office. For your wellbeing, Peter, I would recommend the mayo.
Look, turn the jars around and read the ingredients. If you think corn syrup belongs on your sandwiches, then by all means go for that atrocity, Miracle Whip. If you're a purist, then go for the Mayo; good old oil and eggs. No question, really, for me it's Mayo.
Ooo...them's fighting words! Good thing we're all still too full from Thanksgiving to get too heated about anything. I personally prefer mayo and don't like Miracle Whip. But, as someone who puts sriracha on my tuna fish sandwiches I don't feel like me judging anyone for their condiment choice is appropriate. I say the niknud rule to live by applies here: if it costs less than $20 to fix, takes less than 20 minutes to clean up and doesn't hurt anyone else, you go on with whatever blows your hair back.
It all depends upon what you prefer. When I was a kid, my mom always bought Miracle Whip. As an adult, I find it too sweet. But it's totally up to you.

I’m voting for a cranberry sauce-Dijon combo IF I had leftovers...

Heck, if it suits your fancy, use miso paste, Marmite, peanut butter, whatever.
No one here cares how you eat your leftovers. If you are preparing these for others, ask them.
Another take: sub the mayo for balsamic vinegar and toss it with some sweet dark grapes or sliced celery for a little crunch.
