Default Hard vs Soft Fire Brick

I found a guy selling Hard Fire Brick because he wants to get Soft instead. I have no idea what the difference is or which I should have for my oven? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

read the firebrick primer (Firebrick Primer)
That should answer some questions.
soft firebrick may be insulating firebrick.

Yeah, I've read through that before and thought I had a good understanding until this guy says he has Hard brick which the primer doesn't talk about. Another site does seem to say that Soft brick is Insulating brick so I might be ok with the hard.. just don't want to get something that starts falling apart the first time I fire it up.

At the worst, "hard" fire brick will be high duty firebrick, harder to work with, slower to cut, but should cook well and last forever. Try to find out where he bought it and what it is. "hard" doesn't mean anything.

He won't tell me where he bought it.. which makes me wonder.. but the price is really cheap.. $.60 a brick compared to $2 which is the lowest I've been able to find it so far.
