Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate, and Magnesium Chloride is the same as the stuff from the Dead Sea Works company.
Everyone uses the same stuff, just some places have different purity levels.
As far as the ratio is concerned I don't think it is a big deal. Different salts have different sulfate levels. If your salt has high sulfates, then use less or no Epsom salts, if it has low sulfates (IO used to be that way IIRC) then use more.
So long as you don't only use Mag Sulfate I really think you are just fine. If you just used Magnesium Chloride I think you would be fine as well.
