A PSU with an efficiency rating, like 80 Plus, will be more efficient than that PSU, even near 100% load (which it wouldn't be usually).
Sure, but that difference is less than the variability based on load. The difference in efficiency between a Gold and Platinum PSU is like 4%, but load can vary that efficiency by 10 or 15%
