setup/switchtobodyfont question

The main manual mentions (ch 5 Typography, pg 92):

"In most cases, the command \setupbodyfont is only used once: in the
styledefinition.
Fontswitching is done with \switchtobodyfont. Don't mix these two up because
this may
lead to some rather strange but legitimate effects."

What's recommended when using a product meta-structure
(standardmakeup-frontmatter-
bodypart-appendices-backmatter) where the bodyfont (and in some cases also
the top,
header, footer, bottom fonts change) from one to the other ?

Declare one (1) setupbodyfont and switchtobodyfont from one meta-structure
element to the
other or use a dedicated setupbodyfont for each ?

Best,

 From font-ini:

The next two macros are user ones. With \setupbodyfont
one can set the document bodyfont size, font family, style
and/or options defined in files, for example:

\setupbodyfont[cmr,ams,12pt,roman]

This command affects the document as a whole: text, headers
and footers. The second macro however affects only the text:

\switchtobodyfont[10pt]

Both macros look alike. The second one also has to take
all kind of keywords into account.
