Some programs their own leads, while usually just grabbing a bass preset. Others always program their own bass sounds, while going for presets when it comes to pads or leads.

I see your point, but IMO there are no rules when it comes to that and creating a rule would be pointless. The idea of "when doing X = use presets and when doing Y = program from scratch" does not really seem to be a very clever one from the song-writing point of view.
For example: I was used to program all my basses from scratch, but I've found some cool presets on Cubase4's native synths. With a tweak or two and some eq-ing they gave me the sounds I wanted.
