Merging or instancing geometries?

Between merging and instancing a geometry, which one is more preferable? Can both be combined?

See InstancedMesh for simple geometries? - #2 by donmccurdy – I don’t think there’s any simple answer to this. Merging is more flexible, but instancing can save you GPU memory if you are drawing lots of the same thing. Both are useful tools.
