mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

The generic relays from parts express work fine, I have used them and have never had one come back. However as others have already touched on, if you are using them for non-essential options, such as door locks, trunk release, etc the generics are fine. If you are using them to power an extra ignition output, or a starter kill, I would strongly recommend sticking with the brand named relays. Bosch, DEI, Tyco (Potter/Brumfield), etc.
