Don't think it matters if you are dissolving it. Kosher salt is large grained and good for finishing a meat. Otherwise salt is salt and one is a good as another on a weight basis. On a volume basis, table salt will fit more grains in a spoon than kosher, so a tbsp of table salt has more NaCl than one of kosher salt
