The herb 'savory' in sausage question

Received a breakfast sausage recipe from a friend several years ago, and it includes the herb "Savory." I have never made it. Just ran across it again, a day or so ago.

I used to grow herbs way before I ever thought of making sausage. I don't have any on hand. So, I need to go looking for it.

Which is more useful in Sausage -- summer savory, or winter savory (if I get the choice at the grocery story) ?

Thanks for your considerations.

I'd go with summer, I think winter savory is bitter. but then again it would depend on the recipe.

According to Wiki - Summer savory is preferred over winter savory for use in sausages because of its sweeter, more delicate aroma.

...and then, summer savory would be the one most likely at the grocery store??
