The only things that I dose are; Cal, Alk, and Mag, any other trace elements are handled by water changes. I don't see any reason to dose anything else.

I dose Kent trace elements
I use Tropic Marin salt. I do a 20% water change every 2 weeks but add a little Warner Marine trace elements at the one week mark. Not sure if I need to, probably not but I have a bottle and want to use it up.
I use IO for salt because of its availability and price in my area. Dose with B-ionic 2 part for Ca/Alk supplimentation and trace.

I use reef crystals and dose bulkreef's 2 part and mag.
Weekly water changes for trace elements.
Now if you do not do weekly water changes you may want to add some trace elements

I use Instant Ocean for water changes. I boost Ca, Alk, and Mg using Randy's DIY recipes (for more details, check the Reef Chemistry forum).
reef crystals has worked well for me over the years, and as others have said I don't waste money on trace mineral products. there's no reason to worry about them if you're doing water changes with any decent salt brand.

TM with biweekly W/C. Kalk drip, Kent Mag and Alk. dose. Nothing else other than food for fish and coral. Found that to much trace element cazn cause algae problems. Let water changes do it for you.
