I have had some problems with a Cutler-Hammer breaker/GFI combination unit.
One fed a garage circuit and would trip whenever I used any brush-type motor
on the circuit (power saw, router, et.).  Eventually I replaced it with a 
straight breaker and installed a GFI receptacle in the garage.  That worked 
Fine with no nuisance tripping.

It's also a lot cheaper to install a separate breaker and GFI receptacle.
