Ah posole, one of myfavorites! Re carnitas, I prefer to soak a combination of dried chiles, then blend them up, strain and reboil with a bit (or a lot) of garlic. Then pour that ove the meat before a long slow roast.

Pork butt v. pork shoulder...
If you're not in the south or the northeast you might not see "pork butt" in your butcher's case. The butt is actually part of the shoulder, not the rear as it sounds. A whole shoulder includes the butt.
The rear of the pig is ham.
