Default Gasoline of choice

I have been seeing advertisements with valve from a car which had been using brand "x" gas, typically built up with gummy deposits, verses advertised gas w/ nitrogen additive (Shell) or Techron (Chevron and Texaco), which is deposit free.

For those who takes motor apart as a hobby or professionally, is it common to see so much gummy deposits in internal components? Does choice of gas (obviously staying away from non-major brand) make difference or are these ads just b.s. marketing?

My personal choice had been Amoco and Mobil. Of course, Mobil got absorbed by Exxon and Amoco, by BP. Recently I have been running Exxon but had been considering switching to Shell.
