I would say the optimal is to limit what synths you want to use for a track or set of tracks to a few mainly simpler synths, and perhaps one monster synth.
I think some of the small synths can have better tone/character to the sound. When used a bit you can find sweet spots you might otherwise miss.
Larger synths are definitely worth spending some time with though, as it's possible to get some fairly wild sounds from some of them. They take a bit longer to explore but can do great things.
Sometimes it's completely moot, as the 'extra' in a sound can just as easily come from added FX. Layering and FX can often be as important as the underlying synth.
