Um, if you DON'T use a GFCI, then your system is neither well thought out nor properly constructed. Period.
I pretty much said this ^^ to a couple electricians I work with today. I was asking them about the bolt-in GFCI breaker I have, and they were telling me I don't need GFCI. They said a properly constructed grounding system (with a normal breaker) is all I need. They are master electricians and the smartest electricians I've known, so I was surprised to hear that from them. I got the breaker, brand new, for $20 from the local used electronics parts store. You can't a get a better deal for something so life-saving!
