Any good rich soil will work, it's just that most folks reccomend Potting soil because it's well balanced and generally free of other seeds. I typically use the little expandable peat Discs, because peat is really really rich and seems to start the seeds better than any soil I've found. It's mostly a matter of Preference, good Dirt has lots of sources.
The seeds might be hybred, but will likely grow Either way, and not wasting them is always a good idea. You will want to plant them as soon as they dry if you want plants ready for this year. I usually plant my peppers in February with plans to put them outside in Late April or early May.
Pepper can be sliced or Quartered and will keep in the Fridge in a plastic bag for over a week, it's odd but they do not keep that well whole in a Fridge. for a nice lowfat and reallt flavorful snack, get some Mozzerella cheese, take a quarter of a pepper and fill it with mazzerella then microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese starts to bubble, ohhhhhh it's good.
on a final note, if you want help with identifying the peppers, post pictures I can probably help you out. or just dehydrate all the hot peppers and grind them together for a nice blended red pepper mix.
