For fox and coons a #1.75 or #2 coil spring will work great. I like Victor 4 coiled traps myself because they snap faster and hold better. Duke and Bridger traps are also good. You can also use a Duke dog proof trap for raccoons, or a #220 body grip trap, "conibear".
Mink can be taken with either a #110 or #120 body grip, or #1 or #1.5 coil spring.
I like Victor traps but Duke are more economical.
Which trap you use depends on how your going after your quarry. For more info go to www.fntpost.com they have plenty of resources on trapping such as books, scents, and great prices on traps. hope this helped.

From your question, you appear to lack some basic knowledge as to how to go about trapping. Please do us trappers a favor and get some training. Contact your local DNR warden or wildlife manager - they should be able to put you in touch with some trappers who provide training courses (I have attended/assisted with several excellent courses) and many trappers are happy to mentor you even after the training course.
