What type of blasting media do people use?

I use this in my Harbor Freight cabinet. About five bucks a bag here. Medium coarseness

I also replaced the siphon tube and gun with this kit and it made a world of difference

Works very well for general blasting. Just make sure you use a shop vac with a bag as the silica is bad for you to breath. I've thought about setting up a 5 gallon bucket as a "reclaimer" as it does pull some media out of the cabinet.

I wear a respirator designed for blasting as well as use silica free media
