Nope. The W98SE boot disk is better for some purposes. In your case, however, even the W95 boot disk would do. Using the W98 boot disk (either version) simply ensures that if the W95 partition happens to be formatted FAT32, the Format program will correctly overwrite it.

Please note that the Format procedure doesn't fully erase the data -- the data becomes inaccessible to ordinary folks, but the law enforcement types or other really determined people might still be able to retrieve your data. The cost of doing so normally isn't worth the effort, though.
