Do you think it’s worth using high-gluten/bread flour in starter? (programming.dev)

Or that it doesn’t make much difference in quality for the difference in price?

I used Rye to start my starter. After about 2 weeks I then just fed it white bread flour to maintain. I think once you have an active starter i.e. active bacteria, you can feed it any flour+water. I used a 1:1:1 ratio.

When making my doughs I would use a variety of flours for flavour/texture.
