Most salt mixes are ok. I've used Kent and IO without any problems for years, but the SeaChem salts are ok as well. Most salts are about the same, with varying amounts of calcium and magnesium in them. If you have a large tank, then you'll need to supplement those chemicals either way, so it really doesn't matter, in my opinion.
