I'm guessing that being a shrimp tank, it won't be very big. I wouldn't use anything that will buffer the pH and hardness up. What size will the tank be? If it's only a small tank, you could spend the dosh on shrimp substrate? For shrimp substrate, the UpAqua brand is cheaper than the Benibachi, but the Benibachi is supposed to be better. Plenty of people have used the ADA soils for planted shrimp tanks. Or a cheap option is a layer of laterite, topped with natural gravel. If you're only using plants that attach to wood, stones etc. (e.g.: java fern, moss etc.) then you could go any substrate you like. White play sand would be a winner for example.
