Soft wood vs. hardwood is not that important. Look for the ash contant. The more ash the more you need to clean the stove.
They carry softwood and douglas fir, the brands change depending of whats available. At some point they had ez blaze but they no longer do. In their website if you go under pellets and logs you can see whats available and whats in stock as well as their prices. https://www.mypelletstore.com
