I'm not an electrician either but I agree with the tinker. GFCI plug is not required unless the appliance is used near a water source or where the threat of electrical shock is increased (like in your kitchen or bathroom). My fridge/freezer is plugged into a normal 3 prong plug in my garage.
BTW, I changed my own sprinkler control recently. Less than $50 for the control and the job required 1 screwdriver and about 15 minutes. 6 color coded wires.
