Hi Adam,
Welcome to 3reef!
Best of luck to you and your tank...
Pretty much all the synthetic salt mixes on the market are fairly comparable to each other, in fact many of them are manufactered in the same facility and just packaged under different labels and companies.
You may get a brand of salt that contains a little more calcium than another such as in the case with Oceanic salt. Also, Kent's salt and Instant Ocean's Reef Crystals may contain a higher level of trace elements and vitamins, but at a higher price tag.
