Agreed. As shown in my link to my own experiences in my thread, I checked every possible problem
(installation technique, rim, tire for debris, tires themselves, where/how I rode, etc...)
and reduced everything to cheap tubes.
Once I decided to go "quality", I never had another flat hundreds of miles later on the same roads/rims.
I don't think anyone has ever regretted using really good equipment.
OP...Hand wringing over a dollar or two is a waste of time IMO.
