Most of these types of switches are also compatible with CFLs as well, whereas the other version is not and will burn out both the switch and the CFL in short order.

The motion sensor switch in the garage might not be a good idea since the switch may not sense your body heat or motion from distances involved. Ever been sitting on the can in a public rest room and had the lights go out? In a garage (mine anyway) this could be dangerous. The timer switch would be the way to go IMO.
