What needs to be dipped?

I'm just starting to stock my aquarium and am planning to dip some frags, 3 of them. What chemical should I use? Everyone talks about Bayer, but which one?
Petco has an awsome sale on snails. I've heard horror stories about Petco, can I dip the snails too?
 
I use Coral Rx as well. Please do not dip the snails. I'm pretty sure that will kill them.

Thanks Guys!
Yup, I did a little research and quickly discovered why Bayer Complete Insect Killer is popular. It effects the nervous system of living organisms, so snail will definitely be killed. Corals dont have a nervous system so they're not effected by the poison.
I did consider Coral RX after watching a BRS vid on Youtube. Ryan, the host and co-founder of BRS says that the main purpose for them using Coral RX is the have a clear visual inspection of what my be coming off the corals in the dip. Coral RX is clear while Bayer leaves the water very milky. Ryan followed the Coral RX with a final dip into Bayer as well.
So, I guess both pretty much do the same with the differences being the Coral RX leaving the water clear and the Bayer leaving it white??
Please let me know what your experiences came up with.
