Default Premium GFI outlets?

Was looking for a new GFI outlet for the bathroom. Went to the local
big box hardware store. Saw a GFI brand selling for about $7. Saw
another brand, costing about $12 that said it was a "premium" GFI.
Obviously nobody is going to risk their life for a difference of $5.
So what does "premium" mean: Do they give you less false trippings? Do
they trip faster? Are the internal components in so way more
heavyduty? Bottomline - do "premium" GFIs keep you safer?
