i've never used sea foam but i've found that lucas does a good job at keeping the gunk out of the injectors and intake ports. i use it maybe once every 6 months.

seafoam is the best Ive used. Half can in crank half in engine with a full tank gas..then oil change as soon as you empty...you will notice the difference.

I've been pouring some off the shelf carb cleaner additive into my tank, but that's because I was having some hard starting in the winter that I ended up taking care of with some carb cleaner spray on a gummed up throttle. Haven't really finished the present tank of gas off yet, but it has been running a little nicer as the tank's gone on (somehow it's kept the gas from going bad over several months). Really I think I just need to rebuild my carb and change the fuel filter, but I'm lazy and have other things to take care of first and this helped do the trick. Don't know if it'd be okay using the same stuff in an EFI equipped vehicle, but I'd probably avoid it just because it's meant for carbs and not injectors (last thing I want to do is give someone advice that fouls those stupid little needle valves).
