Should I buy longer patch leads just so I can route them through the cable manager?

No. Use a sensible cable length for the route.

Buying a needlessly long patch lead just creates extra cable that you then have to manage.

Is using short patch leads without a cable manager sometimes the better option? Can I use the rings to take up spare patch-lead length? How are the rings and brush openings arranged on the combined version? Why choose the combined brush-and-ring manager?
