The GFI isn't about surges, it is to protect you from shock hazard when you
are using
electrical appliances. As you point out, GFI circuit breakers are quite a bit
more
expensive than standard breakers. However, there are GFI outlets that are much
cheaper than breakers and do the same thing.
Any appliance (timer, enlarger, etc.) that you can operate while you are in
contact with
plumbing or water should be protected by a GFI.
