For me Pro Mix is comparable to Jiffy Mix as well as Fafard.

And with the Jiffy Mix I mean the loose stuff, not those stupid discs, which I hate. And there are several formulations of Jiffy Mix as well, as to added micronutrients, or not.

But remember that ALL of these soiless mixes repel water and you have to add warm water and mix it with your hands slowly to get all of it wetted.
