You might want to check the Buffer Granulation tutorial from miSCellaneous lib.
As it compares different control setups for granulation, different breakbeat
strategies can be derived from the examples.

Main issue, as often, is the decision what to do by language and what by server.
Either approach has possibilities and limits.
As James said, complicated sequencing within SynthDefs, e.g. with Demand ugens,
can cause headache. Patterns can do a lot, the pattern examples of the 
Buffer Granulation tutorial are not always basic and take advantage of
PLx patterns, so see James' guide and the PLx help files first.

As a rule of thumb demand ugens pay if you go into a very small timescale,
nevertheless pattern sequencing and demand ugen sequencing can be combined (Ex. 3d),
which serves two (including Pspawner: three) levels of time control.

In more percussive examples of my own work I nearly always use
pattern-driven setups, much like 2a and 2b from the tutorial

http://daniel-mayer.at/werke/LO-S9_snd_en.htm

http://daniel-mayer.at/werke/LO-Trio1_snd_en.htm

I cannot reconstruct the code now, but there are no special
ingredients, pattern stuff with parameters chosen by trial and error
and some arrangement afterwards.
Electronic parts of the pieces are sample-based here, 
but the described control principles stay the same 
if you synthesize your sounds.

Daniel
