when should I use "have" and "got to"

I wanna know, when should I use have* and *got to ?
what's the difference between them ?

for example: I have to go* or *I got to go ?
if it's ok to use them both, which one is better ? why?

'Got to' (without 'have') is substandard English and for some listeners suggests low education. 'Wanna' is also substandard English. These are your choices: I have to go.
