What is the best place to get gas? Are there potential difference between Shell V-Power vs. Chevron w/ Techron?

Usually BP or Mobil.

I hear that the V-Power used in Shell has a high concetration of ethanol which is bad for the seals, like it tends to dry it up quicker or something. I heard it from a car meet I went to a few weeks back. Well, more like overheard. But because of the ethanol, the gas is more potent.

Ethanol makes gas -less- potent. It contains less energy than gasoline, that's why your mileage goes down when you use it.

But by and large you will notice no difference between any major brand of gasoline of the same octane and same fuel content (ie 2 majors that are both E10 or that use none at all).

Chevron here.

Tier 1 Premium at the pump from a new station that sells in volume. Less chance for contaminants, including condensation.

Chevron is my preferred brand. Avoid ethanol whenever possible.

Chevron w/ Techron is what I usually use, or Shell V-Power

Exactly the same as the above poster, all but 2 times I've used Chevron w/Techron, the other 2 were Shell's premium.

i usually use Shell V-Power but my 350 is drinking it like water so i switched to Exxon and actually get better mileage in addition my car runs better, it may just be me, haven't actually did the calculations!

I get my gas at the most convenient gas station at the time... I'm not picky, I'm just sure to fill up with premium each time.
