i have some kadavu rock in my moms tank. its a very colorful rock, mostly deep red and orange coroline, but green hair algea started to sprout rapidly. it needs a haircut every week for some reason, and its actualy a heavy rock for its size.

It's up to you eazy. You have to set up a picture in your mind, how'd you like your aquascaping to look like.. If you want to buils a "wall" Fijis are the best. If you'd like to have more caves and holes Tongas would might be better for ya'. Unfortunately hair algae can grow on any kinds of live rocks, it depend how you or the LFS treats them. Petsolutions is a trusted name in aquarium business.. However you'll decide you good to go with Petsolutions.

it all depends on what you want the tank to look like. myself, i have a wide veriety in my tank. marshal island, tonga, tonga branch, fiji, fiji branch, caribian, kadavu, petrified corals. pick something you like, or do a veriety. i like having different kinds of rock, the colors turn out to be more briliant. good luck
