Default dumb question about thread

I have always used cotton thread for piecing and quilting. One time my LQS had some prewound bobbins that were polyester. I did try them and I really like them because there is sooo much thread on them I don't have to stop for bobbin changing very often.

She has not been able to get them back in stock since. So I went looking on my own and I found some - yay! BUT I also found cotton prewound bobbins. The cotton don't have quite as many yards on a bobbin as the polyester, but it is still much much better than when I wind my own bobbins.

My question is.. does it matter if I have polyester or cotton thread in my bobbin? Is one better than the other? I will continue to use cotton up top

Thanks
