I used a mix of the reef saver and Pukani. Both dry rock. If I did it over (not if, when for another tank!!
) I'd use just the Pukani. The Reef saver is dense, the Pukani is very light and porous. Pound for pound you get much more volume with the Pukani. I also find it more interesting rock.
The only down side I see to the Pukani is it does have dead organisms so you'll have to cure it first.
The advantage of the Walt Smith rock is instant gratification. It's pre-colored so it looks like premium cured live rock right out of the box. Of course you pay premium $$ for it!
Any of the wet rock will need a bit of a cure, doesn't lend itself to a long out of tank design process and could be harboring nasties.
)... needless to say something I should have done outside, because I couldn't go into my living room for a couple weeks due to the smell 
I think you're going to need a lot more than 400 lbs to make a dent in that monster. More like 800-1000. I definitely wouldn't add the Walk rock without being aquacultured, it will look fake. Also, I've recently seen some companies offering direct from Fiji, shipped dry over 3-5 days. I can only imagine the death and stink on that rock. Just a heads up if you were thinking about going that route.
