Jeff,

Short answer:  rarely.  If you pull your boom tight towards the center of the boat you'll need to use the interior leads if you want the wind to hit your Genoa at the same angle that it's hitting your mainsail.

If you check the archives for Test (Excel Spreadsheet) on 9-7-17 at 6:54, you'll see a post from me about sailing into the wind.  Although accurate, the results were extremely lucky.  The sailing conditions just happened to match up with how I had the sails and everything else set.
