The "one GFCI in the garage for the whole house" thing is a phase that I thought ended with the introduction of the dedicated bathroom circuit requirement. Interesting to see it still in use, what exactly is it supplying power to? I mostly see deadfront GFCI in relation to jacuzzis. I'm wondering if it is really arc-fault protection.
It it is something that is supplying a circuit that would tend to get ground-faults, such as from hair appliances or refrigerator, or something known to be finicky like a treadmill exercise machine, then I'd strongly suggest running your new garage GFCI pigtailed to the "line" terminals on the other, not the "load"-side. It is no fun having someone else's actions elsewhere in the house shut off your saw mid-cut. Just because a GFCI can protect multiple downstream outlets on a circuit does not mean it is a good idea to use that feature.
