One caveat: if you're using the 32-bit BFD Eco. Bitbridge has a bug that will add an empty buffer of audio to the front end of rendered output, making it play back audibly late when the audio buffer is high.
Having the MIDI Prepare Using buffer too low doesn't generally cause timing errors; the more common symptom is dropped notes. I suppose that might sound like a timing error in some cases, but otherwise, I'd be surprised if changing the MIDI buffer really solved a sync problem.
External Insert latency depends on your round-trip audio latency, and the latency of whatever hardware you're running the signal through, which can add up if the hardware uses DSP with analog I/O and has to do its own A/D/A conversion on top of SONAR's. And SONAR's automatic Plugin Delay Compensation is going to delay everything else to maintain sync with the EI return, causing the whole project to have more latency. External Insert processing is usually something you wouldn't use until all tracking has been done, and you've moved on to the mixing stage where playback latency doesn't much matter.
