I really love the look of the white fine sand, reminds me of the tropics :D

From my research I have seen a lot of people have issues with their powerheads causing sand storms with the fine sand.

What is the best sand/substrate in your opinion?

seafloor special for me too, tried the fine sand for a while but with my heavy flow it caused a few issues including sand storms and cloudy tank after them. It did stop though after about a year as I think it settles or something... Also syphoning was a pita as a crap load of sand would wind up in my waste water container. with seafloor special my my tank is never cloudy even if I move some sand mound.
