I am ready to bottle and have forgot the most important part, priming sugar. Has anyone ever used granulated instead?

Here's another reference on priming sugars:

I did my last batch with 1/2 cup (~200g) of sucrose (cane sugar) and would subjectively say the level of carbonation was a bit less than a retail bottled beer.
