Default Substrate/dirt question for PDF

I'm in the process of building my first PDF tank. I will have a water fall/stream feature, plants and pdfs. I've molded the background, walkways, etc., with Great Stuff and plan on putting black silicon to hold the coco substrate. My questions are:

What type of substrate is best for the plants? Can i use the coco stuff - will it hold enough moisture and sustain the plants? Can I use top soil or planting soil from Home Depot - or is this harmfull to the pdf?
