It in fact matters a lot.  Saving seeds is some degree of effort and I would 
not waste a minute of that effort trying to save hybrid seeds.  The chances 
of 
good results are almost  nil.

And Bev has covered the most important part.  OP plants will adapt in  a few 
generations to your particular conditions, hybrids can't.

Another thing is that almost all modern hybrids were developed with Monstanto 
and Dow Chemical in mind.  They were not hybridized for organic gardeners and 
the results show it.
