Good, better, best sand for mixed reef?

[RobB'z Reef]

Trying to select a decent sand (preferably dry) for my upcoming mixed reef. I'm starting with live rock already, so I'm not sure if live sand brings that much more to the table, but I'm certainly open to it. Goals are a mixed reef with more of a focus on SPS so a higher flow, but not so much I can't keep some fun LPS in lower areas of the tank within the more dead spots where flow is concerned. What won't move around as much? Anyone had some good experience, bad? Appreciate any input!

thanks,
rob

No question, Carib Sea Special Grade. I have it in my tank with at least a 40x turnover rate and it barely moves. I also use a Gyre 350 which will move most sand beds.

I love the bahama oolite but it's super fine. Great for sand creatures and sand sleeping wrasse
