It is not a true fact that contro soil can't hold the glosso. You can use any of the both substrates. The granual size should be small for proper growth of glosso. Glosso also love soft water with potassium and Iron.

Any day ADA

ADA. Tried, tested and most importantly most of us having som experience with that, may be able to help you

the only problem i face with ADA is that they disintegrate fast and won't be a good option if you are someone who likes to experiment too much with your scape/ removing and relocating plants.

That takes more than a year

Go for fluval plant stratum and shrimp stratum on top. Like ada normal and powder type. Zero algae issues, easy to replant, cheaper.
