Breadboard table ends

When you want to. If you want to limit end grain this is a good option. If you don't want to you just use other devices like cleats underneath or aprons. This is really a design decision based on style and preference. If you do not want an apron or cleats, the breadboard is a good option.

Use them if you like how they look. Supposedly, they help keep the panel flat, but I have no experience that proves or disproves that thoery. Remember that they will not shrink / expand in the same direction as the panel boards, therefore are likely to end up proud or short of the edges, usually proud. Greene & Greene style uses that as a design feature, making the breadboard intentionally larger than the panel end, and rounding corners / edges to make it flow.
