Is the priority of rules / expression settings different for different controls?

I sometimes feel lost as to whether I should use the Expression setting for a control or add a fresh rule.

Is there any kind of guide or set of recommendations as to which is best for what control?

It would be a great help, and save me from much head-scratching when I see rules not working as planned or expected.

It would be great to know which is best to use for different controls.

Can you give more information and perhaps an example of a time a rule didn't function as planned? There's definitely a critical mass of rules, which is really based more on complexity rather than actual number of rules. Optimizing your expression and your rule order is the best way to get a consistent and predictable outcome.
