TYTY! This place is a gold mine of great info and very nice people.

I used sand so I could create a deeper center - sand is easier to shape, the blue foam is good for a flat bottom. The center of my pool is sloped to 8" deeper than the edges, also makes cleanup easy - get in, walk a couple of circles to get the water moving, wait half an hour and all your dirt sets down in the middle part of the pool for a quick vac job.
