Even with a bench capper,you can't always get a good seal on them. Hit or miss kinda thing,& the glass is thinner.

Probably better to just buy them then?

I meant the twist off bottles. Just drink beers that come in pop top bottles. They'll work well over & over again.

If I keep the Pilsner Urquell bottles out of direct light while they're fermenting, will they be ok? Because that's what I'm going to have the most of.

Yeah man,that's cool. I keep my bottles - cleaned or filled-in craft 12 pack boxes since they have flaps,some with tabs to keep the top closed. Keeps the light off them.

Keeping them out of the light like unionrdr says you will be able to use the Newcastle bottles,I have several of them myself that I use.

Buying bottles is a very inexpensive part of the brewing. Once bought the bottles are reusable for many brew sessions so their cost per session is minimal.
