I now use Reefers Best since it's become available to me. It's not on the pole so I couldn't vote.

When I originally started my tanks I was using Instant Ocean, but switched after 1 bucket to AquaMedic Reef Salt.. But debating about starting my 75G with RBS.

I switched to it from RBS. I've done a few water changes with it and everything is looking good still. The reason I changed to it was that it has a little more calcium in it (the one thing that I was missing with RBS), but other then that it is similar to RBS but a little cheaper (always a bonus)
