Seafood Boil- whole crab or just legs?

Hello! I am planning a seafood boil for Mothers Day— my stepmom loves Joe’s Crab Shack and my dad and I would love to give her the experience at home. I was planning on going to a specialized seafood store to pickup crab legs but I just saw whole Dungeness crab at Costco. I was excited about this until I realized I think we’ve only ever had the legs and not the whole crab and I’m not sure if one is “better” in this context.

Also, do you use the same tool to break open the crab body? Or would I separate that part out before serving?

Thanks!
