SMAA and FXAA are amongst the cheapest possible shaders to use. I can't imagine not having the gpu power to use one of them over a 0.5 pixel gaussian filter.
Gaussian blur is just a one method to do blur while SurfaceBlur is its own complete shader. The former blurs everything while the latter tries to algorithmically blur only very low detail areas while leaving high details un-touched.
