I recommend gourmet salts. They have different flavors, based on different minerals in them. This may help keep you from getting bored or overloading on certain trace elements.
Table salt is the purest and has the most salt flavor.
Sea salt is among the best balanced, with a milder and more complex flavor. It comes in different varieties and textures too. I love sel gris and fleur de sel.
Rock or mined salts come from earth deposits and tend to have a very high mineral content. Himalayan and Australian pink salts are favorites of mine.
Smoked salts are mellower with a savory note. Applewood is kind of sweet; hickory is darker.
Also, if you're making soup, you can load in the salt if you put potatoes in it. Potato will soak up a LOT of salt without tasting very salty. That's why people say to put a potato in the soup if you spill too much salt in.
