I'm not a Philadelphian, but I learned from friends who've lived there* that the proper cheesesteak at Gino's or Pat's is indeed a "steak Whiz." This is the default for natives. When offered a choice, I go for the provolone anyway. My commitment to cultural anthropology is not strong enough to "go native" by consumption of petroleum byproducts.
*Fair warning: they were UPenn students, so they may have been exaggerating in order to emphasize the provincial charm of their neighborhoods.
