Default Using seed potatoes vs. 'ordinary 'spuds?

g'day,

certified seed potato's are supposed to be disease free ie.,. potato
blight, if you ever get it then growing spuds again there might be out
of the question?

i generally buy certified's as it gives me the all at once supply, and
also on the just in case disease safety side as well.

but i have grown from ordinary spuds out of the fridge, and never had
any disease problems. here we grow through the winter months planting
about march/april and where they get pretty much full sun especially
all of the late sun.
