Is it better to grow regular or feminized?

Hello RIU.

I am going to be growing 12 plants soon, and I am wondering if it is safer to use regular seeds than feminized? By safer, I mean less(or none) chance of a hermie appearing in mid-flowering and getting my girls seeded (Assuming that light leaks and major stress will not be a factor, just pure genetics).
I am a stress freak, and I am don't think I could take the thought of always worrying that one of the girls would hermie without me catching it in time.

So would it be safer to use regular seeds and then just chop the males? Or is their an equal chance for a hermie to appear even with regular seeds?

Thank you for reading.

EDIT:
Okay, do you guys think I would be safe with Nirvana's genetics? If not, could someone recommend a good breeder?

depends on the genetics and the breeders you choose but generally yes regular seeds are much less likely to herm on you

real feminized seeds you shouldnt have to worry bout herming n you.I would take my chances with feminized over the chance of 99% males anyday.its all up to you basically.I would prefer feminized anyday
 
if you want to grow your won strain and make your own seeds, than a male or two isnt a bad thing either. imagine never having to buy seeds again.

Good fem seeds are all in the breeder. The same goes for reg seeds, I've had my fair share of reg genetics herm too. Just because you get regular seeds doesn't mean you're immune to herms.
