Confused about water hardness

I have a 75 gallon plated tank. I have well water, a softener and I also have RO water. But I'm not sure which water I should use for my tank, I used the hard water in my old 20 gallon planted tank then switch to the soft water for my 75 gallon. I've been reading the water softened with salt is not good for the plants is this true? I should I switch back to the hard well water?
