For the semantics' sake: there is no such thing as a seated military press. Military press is a variation of an overhead press, that requires the lifter to be standing with their feet together.
That being said, the program is most likely wnating you to do standing to have the added core activation, etc. (I'm speculating, I don't know the program well).
Seated will allow you to overload the shoulders more, by what you've noticed, more weight (from removing the weaker link of the core/balance issues).
Ultimately your goals should dictate what you do, but the program apparently has standing for a reason (i'd assume).-
