I would mix the two. 70/30. The majority of it being fine. Not all of the critters that inhabit a DSB like a fine sand & vice versa. Catering to this is a plus in my book.

Yep, mixing the two actually makes it easier for most creatures to build burrows in the sand.

+1 for the mix. Amphipods love the bigger stuff for building their little nests, and spionid worms will appreciate something more sturdy for building tubes.
