what target sequence should I use #2

I know this could be off-topic but I cannot find an answer to this elsewhere yet. Should I use CDs or cDNA for searching miRNA target?

Where possible you want to use a full-length transcript database that includes both coding and non-coding sequences because known plant miRNAs can target both types of regions.
