When I bought my blasting cabinet, it was loaded with a mixture of glass beads and crushed glass. The idea, as presented to me, was to get a better finish (beads) with higher speed (crushed). Based on what I know about sand paper, I suspect the result is the finish from crushed glass with the speed of the beads. I would expect any mixture to have similar results.
There is no single right answer for media. It depends on what you are working on and what you want for results. That is why there are so many different media available. Currently, I am using one of the finer grades of aluminum oxide for rusty cast iron.
