I bought the regular adjustable last time for a travel bag and with decent chrome, not much slop and smooth action, worth this price. I normally use the correct socket or wrench, but sometimes these do come on handy.
If you want to spend the money, I would say that today's Milwaukee, or yesterday's made in the USA that can still be found new on eBay are better tools. Actually, my old made in the USA Craftsman and Crescent sets that I have passed down are still going strong.

Odds seem high you watched the latest Project Farm video on the ol YouTube?
Looks like the difference between the two is the thread width in the adjustment wheel, affecting how many rotations it takes to open a given amount.
Anyone have experience with these? Does the double speed set tend to slip out of adjustment more than the other? Durability issues with the threads in the normal speed set?
Crescent is on sale too for $15 if you don't need the 8". I don't have experience with the Crescent ones, but I have a different model 12" husky that's sloppy and I don't like very much. As previously mentioned, Project Farm rated Crescent well.
Are these good for working with pipes under the sink, removing showerheads, other home plumbing tasks? Should I get a pipe wrench instead?
You are better off with a set of channelocks for things you described. Those above in the deal are sometimes usefull as well but channelocks are more practical overall.

If you're a homeowner or do anything mechanical at all I would get both.
I prefer using adjustable wrenches when I have a reason to, channel locks have sharp teeth that grab so they might be better for holding onto a fitting so it doesn't spin while you use the adjustable wrench on it.

That was a spot on Vijayo (AvE Wording) but the best was the bit blaster 9000 testing all the phillips bit in the 4x4 dead tree carcass.
