If you wanted the best I would say distilled water because it doesn't contain anything other than water. You can add whatever nutrients you want to for the plant. Personally, I wouldn't want to pay for all that distilled water or lug it about though.

RO offers the ability for the grower to control the waters content almost 100%.

I like control...

You have to watch that spring water you buy in the store - it doesn't always come from a good source. I thought about buying an RO setup - saw a 7-stage on ebay for a pretty good price, but I've also been debating a nice commercial distiller (around $500).

lol please explain these abreviations! RO water? EC water? PPM? what if i used smart water or FIJI water? will they effect my plant better since they have added electolytes and what not in them? and also... DontKnowBeans, what else am i supposed to do, steal the water? i live in an area with chlorine water, i cant give my plants chlorine water, and i dont trust letting it sit and evaporate either.
