"Live" sand is more a gimmick IMO. Never bought/used black sand though.

Never used the 'live' version, but I have used the black previously and loved it. However there are a few drawbacks;
- less light reflection back upwards - If you previously had white sand in your tank, you may find you get well mixed sand later down the road. - It needs less cleaning visually then white sand - Seems to dissolve at about the same rate, or slightly slower then white sand, requiring less frequent replacement. And old school shot, ignore the GHA.
