Hocks may be derived from the end of the ham or end of the elbow. To be technically accurate, "ham hocks" are from the distal end of the ham and "pork hock" can both be from the "elbow" or distal end of the picnic shoulder or the ham hock.

I'm assuming that this is for soup, correct? Ham hocks are preferable because they have been cooked, and smoked. You can use fresh pork hocks if you want, but you should brown the meat and bones beforehand, and they will not impart the same smoked flavor to the soup. I suppose you could augment by use of a little liquid smoke or smoked ham, but it isn't quite as good.

What is better butt and shank ham?

I just cooked a cooks shank ham last night and it was gross. It's just about all fat with lots of tendon layers. Ive heard that the butt is fatty too. I will never make a shank again. Use spiral ham or a whole boneless ham for casseroles. If you cook the whole boneless ham for about 3 hours at 325, it will give your casseroles a better flavor and it wont be as chewy.
