For a non-professional swapping Savage barrels, does one brand of headspace gauges matter over another, i.e. Forster or Clymer?

No, any of the trusted brands will do their job.
I have found that they vary from different manufacturers, but they are still within the tolerance range of gauges.
"As long as there's lead in the air....there's still hope.."
I actually only use a “Go” gauge. Then I cut a shim from .003” or .004” feeler gauge, and shape it the same diameter as the base of the Go gauge.
It never stops amazing me that when someone who is trying to learn how to work on their own gun that people who he believes really know would offer such crude advise.
Just measured my go/no goes 6.5 creedmoor at a difference .0035, my 308 .003, 22/250 .004.

I guess a 'No Name' brand Made in the USA means they were too embarrassed to put their name on it.
