I'd definitely stick with the unsalted water. I wouldn't drink softened water....that's more for showers/bathroom sinks, etc. Drinking water shouldn't be softened from what I've been taught anyway. I'd stick with the non-softened water. Using water that contains high content of salt constitutes a 'hypertonic solution' and will act to actually draw water OUT of the cells of your plant rather than bring it in (hence the point of misting).
