The reasoning is most of the time if you are going to get non ethanol gas, it is going to be premium and the second is the refineries are trying to save money so they use marginal gas and can bump up the requirements with ethanol so the standard gas isn't as good as the older standard gas. Because premium has so much higher octane they can't totally make it up with ethanol alone they need to start with a better base stock. That is the theory I have heard anyway.
I personally have not had any issues with ethanol gas but some have had a lot. Seems to be a very personal experience.
The recommendation for premium is for small motors that might sit for a while and they have a harder time with bad gas because of their small passages in the carburetors. If you don't have a problem with run on, pinging, or a requirement from the engine manufacturer, and you run a lot of gas through the engine (like your pickup that gets a lot of fill-ups in a year) you are probably not going to see any change.
