Do most QT everything before putting it into their main display? I ask because ich can be transferred via everything, inverts snails, corals. I'm currently QTing my fish due to an outbreak of ich and think I got it via snails.

The commonly held "best practice" is if it goes in your display, it should be QTed. Some people change it up a bit when it's not fish since the life cycles of ich that are present on coral or inverts is different than what can come in on fish.
