What type of dip should I use on LPS for new Corals?

I have done FW dips for zoas... but I have never heard anything about FW dips for LPS.

Should I do FW or would I be ok with SW + flatworm exit + lugols?
 
I personally dip for 15 minutes in tank water + Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure. During the dip I shake frags pretty good every few minutes to get anything dying off the frag.

If I see anything fall off that is particularly worrisome I do a pH adjusted FW dip for 5 minutes afterwards. I've been told that FW dipping LPS corals is bad, but I've never lost one from it.

I also inspect the frag pretty well before and after the dip for eggs or nuisance algae, etc.
