These are more expensive.. does that mean better?

Isolation pads come in different thicknesses using the same material. Thicker isolation pads have worse heat transfer, but it's not linear with thickness. You can end up with better thermal performance with a thicker pad when you have irregular surfaces.
Not all thermal sheets are the same -- there is a huge difference in conductivity, and you generally pay a lot for the better materials. If you need the best... well, they know you *really* need it and price to match.
