Depends on what you're doing with them. I like to eat low sodium,
and some recipes I make from garbanzos have significant sodium from
other ingredients like preserve lemon, or harissa; in these recipes
I want completely unsalted garbanzos.

For just putting them on a salad, low-salt or even standard-salt
canned garbanzos are fine.
