Hi, I am on sulfasalazine and I was just wondering, if I choose to get the enteric coated ones, if it works just as well as the non enteric coated?

I would ask your pharmacist. The enteric coated protects your stomach since most of the drug is not released until it gets to the small intestines. But that does not necessarily mean that less is obsorbed by your body.
