IMO, salt is salt.
I have used many of the major brands out there and have never noticed any significant difference.
there are some slightly different elemantal make ups with some brands claiming to tweak this or that but at the end of ever bucket mixed, you still test and adjust accordingly, regardless of what brand you use.
I read an article some time ago, I cannot rememeber where but it was back when H2Ocean first came out and made everyone feel like they needed to spend 90$on a bucket of salt to give their reefs the "best" possible care and it was talking about how so many brands actually are derived from the same places, using the same process.
I've never used a salt that mixed perfectly to match my system parameters...
I now use seachem reef salt...
why?
because it mixes the clearest the fastest...
I used to really like Tropic Marin Pro for this same reason, but you cant get it out here anymore.
