I think the best substrate to grow stuff is ada aquasoil. it may break down a bit after a year or two but it makes growing stuff easy. Flourite,eco complete are okay and you can add root tabs.
second choice i would use is bottom layer of worm castings, peat moss, and top layer of flourite.
you are right I think substrate is very important. some will depend on what you want to grow. java fern etc should be easy in most substrates but using aquasoil allows you to expand your choices more.
good luck!
