You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32.F, which is not cold enough to make ice cream. The freezing point of salt water is below that temperature and thus allows the cream to partially freeze, a necessary part of making ice cream Salt causes water to freeze at a much lower temperature. Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container.

Do rock salt or table salt freeze homemade ice cream faster?
No. But ice and water with table salt dissolved in it, can.The salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water, so that it can remainliquid even when it's below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). In that condition,it can be used to cool the can in which the ice cream ingredients are mixed, andcan freeze it faster than solid normal ice could.

You need to have the salt in the ice around the chamber to ensure that the ice will stay as frozen as possible when freezing the ice cream. ;)

Which company makes the best and easiest to use ice cream maker?
It depends on what you consider "easy." The most convenient models are electric: you load up the ingredients, add salt and ice, plus the machine in and let it do the work. You can also use a machine with a metal insert that is pre-chilled in the freezer. You add the mixture to the cylinder, which then freezes the ice cream. The quality of the ice cream depends on the ingredients, rather than the machine. Check out the various models and options at www.amazon.com
