What 'salt' is best to use?

I have used 'Instant Ocean' salt for a while and have been happy, then a friend gave me a 5g bucket of '*****' Salt, which after using a couple times I am not happy with. I recently picked up a 5g bucket of 'Oceanic' salt and that seems to be the best I have used so far.
My question is, what is the best salt mix to use on the market today?
Thanks!
PS - I am now addicted to this board!

there is no best. some people need high calcium, some people dont. some high mg some dont. some prefer high alk and some low. Get the one that makes it easiest to maintain the levels you target. I personally dont pay extra for calcium as cheap and easy as it is to dose in my size tank and load. so I'll use seachem marine, instant ocean, red sea and for go the "reef" salts. I dont really have a preference yet. still trying them out
