Default Buy Sourdough starter?

Hi everyone. I have a question. I have made my own staters before with rye
flour. It isn't that hard but it's a time consuming process and I usually
don't think the starter is that great until a couple months after I have it
going. I have decided to just buy one instead so hopefully I have a healthy
starter in 1 - 2 weeks. I have a couple of questions. First, I've heard
mixed stories if you obtain a certain starter that it will eventually get
populated with yeast in your own environment. Other people say the opposite
and that once yeast have a hold on a mixture they will resist and foreign
yeast. Is everyone guessing or does anyone really know? I would like to buy
the san Francisco version. I have looked at two sites to order it from:
www.sourdo.com
www.sourdoughbreads.com

Is either one better than the other? The one from sourdo is a little
pricey. Almost $20 with shipping. Will it not matter which one I order it
from because it will be replaced with the natural yeast in my environment?
Do you have any other good sites to order starters from? IF I had time I
would just get carl's starter but I really don't want to wait that long. Any
help would be appreciated

thanks
Brent
