I don't think there will be any difference in performance between brands.
If you are laying up for the winter, just remember to run the bike after adding it to the fuel so it gets into your injectors !
Having talked to louigi about the amount of hassle cleaning gummed injectors, fuel stabiliser sounds like a very good idea !

I saw someone ask about this in the post winter storage the other day ?.
Why would anyone want to put a fuel stabilizer in that cost good money when you can just drain out the old fuel and put it in the car. Then when you want to use it, you go get some fresh fuel from the petrol station and Bobs your uncle away you go

Petrol keeps easily for three months anyhow. Not that easy for some to drain it out, i couldnt be bothered to do it for example. You need to get the whole system bone dry for it to be worth doing any how.
