Seeds in sauce...

yes or no? In or out?

Never did mind them myself, but met a neighbor who swears she cleans every one out with her strainer. She won't eat it if it has them. Can't see going through all the trouble if it's not worth it.

What's the big taste difference to you?
Is it good/bad for canning in the long run. If there is an effect.. She thinks there may be. I don't know.
Do you have to alter the ingredients to your sauce?

I was never that picky about leaving them in myself. Only time I really strained them with my wood pestle get-up was when I made Sungold sauce. Some I strain, other I don't.
