Substrate suggestions

So I just won at auction, a 200 gallon tank.
This is a big jump going to that from my 75 gallon mixed reef. My question is what people think on substrate options. Sand vs argonite or other options??

I used Carib Sea Arag Alive Sand and loved it.

Congrats on the new free tank. Nothing better than that!

Sand, my first pick is Tropic Eden Miso and/or Reeflakes. Second choice is Caribsea Special Grade

Tropic Eden has some nice sands. My new favorite is TBS live ocean sand. Hard to beat 100% natural and loaded with goodies!
