I don't think that will have any effect whether the boards warp or not. Some are going to warp no matter what... If you space your joists at 16" and screw the deck boards down properly, you can minimize it.
This is what I did on my last house. A good sealer on boards will help also.

Take a small piece of aluminum foil,tape it down with scotch tape, check every week for moisture on the foil. Once you can lift it up and there is no moisture then you can do whatever you want to the wood.
