When it comes to planting seed, certified seed, though more expensive, is the way to go. Certified seed has the following benefits: it is pure seed, meaning a very high percentage of the seeds will be of the variety you wish to sow; there is a very low percentage or zero percent of other crop seed present in the seed; it contains very little inert material (sand, twigs, chaff); there is little or no weed seeds present; and the germination rate is high.
