You should go 60/40 on the coco coir mix. The 50/50 is for peat moss/vermic. (plus hydrated lime). I haven't used coir for casing mixes, but the 50/50 has worked well for me; and I believe the jiffy mix is similar to the 50/50.
Coir--being more nutritious than peat--will contam. more easily--but if you get a hang of it, it can yield nicely (I hear).
I pasteurize my 50/50, which leaves more nutrients for the mycelium. I think sterilizing zaps a lot of the "good" bacteria--others will disagree. GL.
