"replace any of the outlets on the curcuit and will protect the whole curcuit. " Only the outlets downstream from a GF outlet are protected.Outlets between the circuit box and the GF oulet are not protected. I have always installed the GR outlet as the first outlet on that circuit so all outlets are protected and I knew all were protected.

Now, if you install a GF circuit breaker than all outlets on that curcuit are protected.

I am NOT an electrician but this is my understanding from reading over the years and installig some GF outlets. I have never used a GF breaker....never thought of it.
