Good grip outlasts the board it is applied to, and is 100% reliable from sheet to sheet. Bad grip is not. There are 3 (major) brands of good grip tape. Grizzly, Mob, and Jessup.
Is Jessup or Grizzly Griptape better?
According to reviewers on CCS, Grizzly is nearly as grippy as Mob but not as likely to wear out your shoes. If you use a skateboard only for transportation, Jessup Griptape may be all you need. It's cheaper and doesn't last as long, but it's also a lot less likely to destroy your shoes.
