There should be not much difference between the nutrients in any make of JI as they are all made to the same recipe. They will however differ slightly in the loam element just because Liam's are different in different parts of the country but they should all be good quality. So don't stress over which make of JI to buy. Go for whatever your supplier of choice has.
as for grit, a couple of 15 or 20 kilo bags will do your pots.
