would it be more beneficial to just add a small bag of live sand or some existing tank sand to the sugar sand?

In that case, there's no reason not to add the sand to the bin. The rock will do a fine job seeding the sand. Getting a cupful of bandit's sand wold help as well.

Personally, I think the "live sand in a bag" is bogus. The only "real" difference is that it's less dusty and doesn't need to be rinsed before being added.
