Very true. Also depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are just populating a zone with patrolling mobs "typical EQ" then definately want to reduce how many unique IDs for repeat mobs. If you need to pull out specific NPCs for scripts then unique IDs are very helpful. A good mixture of both is healthy.
Default Database has a ton of duplicates that can be cleaned up as well. For many are not needed.
EDIT : Most of the time using the NPC name for the .pl will suffice. When you get into same name NPCs but you need them to do different things, like invis prox, invis spawners and other controllers, then you can single them out with the NPCID and not have a bunch of ______ names to make them invis.
