Best Sugar Sand

Think what you want the sand for and see towards the bottom of this article re: sand size, to help choose.

Good idea skipping the LS as just wasting funds. Setup tank with dry sand and LR and leave to cycle. Life from the rock will seed the sand or if you're worried it won't just a handful from a established tank. Important not to rush (eg add water one day and that colourful acro the next).
