I can’t think of a good reason not to use the cheaper flour for your starter. In low hydration starters you still have some gluten, it doesn’t really do anything for your bread though. High hydration does too, more or less depending on how much you use it and how often you feed it. Since your mixing it though you end up breaking pretty much all the strands.
