Are low dose (20 mcg) pills less effective?

I am taking the new BC pill, Alesse–it is a 20 mcg low dose pill and I am using it for birth control. However, I have heard people say that these lower dose pills are more “accident prone” in terms of failure than the 35 mcg pills. Is this true, or do all BC pills have pretty much the same effectiveness? I’m 20 and don’t want to get pregnant!!
