I used to feed pork neck bones and my dogs loved them. BUT, I couldn't handle it - they made me very nervous because they are very hard and very sharp. I know this not only because I could tell when the dogs were eating them but also because I would sometimes need to break them into smaller pieces and that was hard to do. When I did it, the edges were very sharp.
I feed pork brisket bones now (one of my staples). The meat/bone ratio is good and the bone is soft.
My biggest quarrel with pork neck bones is that they are exactly what the label says. Bones.
There is enough red on them that they can look meaty, but they aren't.
If a grocery store label says "bones", all the meat has been removed.
They are harder, but I wouldn't say they are excessively hard. Not cow femur hard. Whoever said that it depends on the dog nailed it. I'd let some dogs have them, and others I wouldn't feel comfy giving them to.
They can get a sharp point on them, but not any worse than any other bone. Same with the teeth lodging thing. All that takes is any piece of bone that can wedge in between the teeth. Not really a bone specific problem.

Baby back ribs are well appreciated here. I also feed necks bones without problem but not often, although I won't serve it anymore once they get a bit older...too scary
