Should I Plant Seeded Grapes?

I'm going to plant a few grapes for fresh eating. It seems most people would want to grow seedless varieties. Should I even consider seeded varieties? When I go to supermarket, I almost buy seedless grapes, other than the Globe grapes.

Scott likes Swenson Red a seeded grape.

I'd be looking for a review on the new seedless out of AK: Hope, Joy, Faith, and Gratitude. Several regulars here have them planted but I haven't heard much yet on the verdict. I like Canadice and Glenora but they're not nearly as good as the vinifera I can grow and you can buy in the store. Store bought usually aren't as sweet as mine due to way they are grown.

Here is a link that might be useful: grapes

For seeded grapes, they have to have some advantages over the seedless ones, either better taste, or more disease resistence. It makes more sense with wine grapes since they are so special. Also the seeds would be discarded.
