I need lawn lime, recommendation is 175 lbs per 1000 sq ft to correct low pH.

There is soil doctor dolomite for $6 per 40 lb bag from depot,
There is tractor supply pelletized lime at $4.50 per 40 lb bag,
there is Encap from Ace at $22 per 30 lb bag that says covers 5,000 square feet results guaranteed.

How do I know what to use, or what not to use?
Isn't it all crushed limestone?
How can they say their 30 lbs covers 5,000 sqft? What's so special about their 30 lbs?
