I tie enough hooklengths for other strands of fishing i do, so tend to use ready tied direct from the packet- drennan super strength for Barbel, good old drennan red for maggot when fishing for silvers. Any form of feeder fishing then different story and length of hookength and varying it is vital at times.
It's stood me ok for river match fishing situations, but i will hazard a guess and as these weren't top end big matches i fished, with all respect to those in them (including myself..) there could be alot more effort and thought tactically, behind making your own, as really one or two eluded to above already.
99% of my brain is taken up with Barbel largely, so little room (or time) left for things i can do simpler and do ok at still, as well as i want to.
Depends therefore i suppose on how far you wish (or need) to take it for what you have planned.
