I could only venture a guess really but in order to get a fairly large plant for spring next year, I would go ahead and start them now then overwinter them in the GH. But hey, it's just a guess.
I started seeds that were from a swap over a year ago and some I had collected a couple of years ago. But somewhere I think I read that pelleted seeds don't keep as long. Maybe the clay coating draws the moisture out or something. Again, another guess.
