I like tongan branch, and fiji rock.

try the NEW FUSION BRANCH LR or the new stuff out of Africa. The Fusion is nice looking stuff with great coralline.

You do understand that just one run way built on an island would require more live rock then the entire trade imports? How about the wall of live rock that surrounds a large portion of Tonga? How about the house built on most islands out of live rock? Belive it or not, live rock can be a sustainable trade and can remplentish itself if done right.

IF done right are the key words there.

And it's done right in many countries, especially Fiji, the largest supplier.

I am glad they are doing it right, the man made rock is usually ugly

i like getting the dry stuff (i think it's usually artificial) because you don't have to worry about nasty critters coming in. the one mantis i had as a hitchhiker has scarred me for life. this would be assuming you already have some starter rock and sand, of course..... and that you don't mind waiting for coralline growth. they do make it in some cool natural looking shapes too.
