I went through the site, and saw not one comparative word relating to chemical compatibilities.

I filled up on gasohol with the motorhome in the Midwest two years ago. Killed the neoprene carburetor float needle in the generator in short order. Gas mileage dropped about 7%.

What's it's compatibility with epoxy?

If I seem to be a little skeptical, it's only because I am.

My take is that "suitable" and "superior" are weasle words that have no meaning beyond what the user wants them to mean.

My guess is that "suitable" means the plane can get off the ground with it, even if it has to have aerial refuelling at the end of the runway and all the plastic seals in the fuel line are eaten away before it can finish flying the pattern.  "Superior" would mean that they make a little more margin on it than 100LL.  Of course, I could be wrong.
