I am currently working on a project which I will put up as a wip tonight or tomorrow, but I am unsure as to whether or not/when to keep an item as one object (extuded out of main item) or use multiple objects and combine them.

So for example, if I was making a table would i extude all the legs or use poly cubes and then combine them with the table top?

Is there a right or wrong way about doing this, becuse I am thinking it is best to extrude as much as possible unless maybe parts are needed to be animated or tiny detailing etc...

Any insight into this would be great
