So...do I tell a briefer to note that I have a VFR GPS and will the
controllers take note, sending me direct, off airways? Will it make any
difference to them at all? Given the fact that nearly everyone has one
nowadays, will they assume I have a GPS even if I don't indicate it?

Probably. Jeff I've filed direct a few times and been cleared and I
haven't mentioned anything but /U. I've also asked for direct while
enroute once or twice and have been asked by ATC if I can go direct
while enroute also. So I don't really think it matters if you do or
you don't. If it works out better for them and you are direct capable
its a win/win situation.
