Does the laundry detergent you use make that much of a difference?

For years I've used All or the Arm & Hammer laundry detergent. I've also used Wisk and Era. All seem to do a good job of cleaning and I don't really notice a difference except in the price. I have noticed our darker colored clothes just don't seem to hold their color as long as I would like. After about a year they look a bit worn and faded. I use a cup of vinegar when I wash the new darks the first time. I'm wondering if switching to something like the Woolite laundry detergent would help keep our clothes looking newer longer? What has been your experience?
