Why is this beneficial?

If using the 0-conf channel you get more bang for your sats with larger amounts.
If you want to be most economical hit the ‘Purchase inbound channel’ on the Channels list view.
Appreciate the heads up! Money is a little tight at the moment so that's exactly what I'm in pursuit of
Seems like 0 conf doesn't have an expiration but purchasing an inbound channel does? What'd the most cost-effective in the long term?
0-conf chans have 3 month lifetime. Next release will make it a bit clearer and allow you to renew.
Right now most economical is a 12 mo purchase in advance channel. Once renewal functionality is out, most economical will be open with on-chain funds then use renew functionality to turn it into a proper lease.
Awesome thanks for clarifying!
