Should I change salt brand?

I am about to finish my pail of Instant Ocean that I bought with the fowlr tank over a year ago. My tank has appeared to do well with this brand, but I thought I should check to see if this was an opportunity to switch to a better choice.

NEVER, EVER SWITCH, Its not recommended as it can crash your system, stick with instant ocean
