You cannot go wrong with extra/redundant grounds on an older vehicle
Well, actually you can. They're called "Ground Loops" and they should be avoided at all possible costs if there is anything electronic on board.

If it is EMI/RFI that you're trying to eliminate the flat braid seems to work better than a wire, but a wire works better than nothing.

I have been fortunate to not have any problems yet. But I do use very high quality wire.
Regarding my EFI stuff, I just wire how the mfg recommends, all my other stuff is redundant ground.

The wire quality won't matter in an EMI/RFI type of problem. Redundant grounding will.
Grounding, when mapped out, should look like a tree with the battery's '-' post as the root ball.
