Why would you bundle unbalanced cables with a balanced patch bay?

The Samson S-Patch works with either balanced or unbalanced cables. I use one of mine with unbalanced cables to route various instruments into different mixer inputs. Works well.

Since this has stereo trs connections, to patch out to a 16 channel mixer, does an 8-trs to 16-ts snake work for l/r mono channels?

the question is unclear. "8-trs???" "trs to ts??????" but if you're trying to split 8 trs circuits to 16 mono ts circuits, then you need eight 'trs to ts' splitters. i can't draw a circuit on this forma but if you can read a circuit, find someone who can draw one for you. good luck. sorry not to have answered your question better.

How does this compare with the behringer ultrapatch pro px3000?

Behringer switches are on top (Hard to get to when mounted in a rack) Samson's switches are on the front for easy access.

Can I use this with an insert cable, and retain the cable's insert fubction?

That should still work ok. Best thing to do is TRY IT. You wont harm anything.
