Not really. -dfuller- provides what are called parametric augmented
Dickey-Fuller (ADF) tests, which require explicit specification of the
(linear) trend component. -dfgls- belongs to a class of efficient ADF
unit root tests, which involve running the ADF tests on
quasi-differenced series (wherby a trend is extracted by GLS
detrending) - leading, typically, to greater power properties.

In either case, -dfuller- does not include a trend by default and
-dfgls- does. So as you are using them, they are not comparable. For
quick diagnostics on unit roots, I prefer -dfgls-.

I can point you to the excellent exposition in Phillips and Xiao
(1998) & [TS] dfgls.
