I have noticed that many players will buy in at amounts above the default 25BB amount. Are there advantages to this? Are these players LAGs/TAGs/other on average? I could see doing it for possible intimidation when you are trying to push someone off a hand, but at 2/4 and 3/6 where I play, I don't know if many players are thinking about this. Also, the table dynamics change so fast, I don't know if makes a difference for riding out a swing vs. a rebuy if the table condition is still good.
Thoughts?

the only thing that matters is making sure you always have at least 10 bigbets in case you catch a hand and the betting gets capped.

depends on the table for me most time i just buy in 25bb however i have bought in a lot more then that if the table was like myself as the only tagg and the rest were maniacs... bigger swings it's almost like you are playing double the stakes so i double the buyin...

When I used to play 1/2 I would buy in for $240 at each table (which is three times the default buy-in at 1/2 Crypto), just because the swings would be hardly noticable in a stack that large. So after losing say $40, I'd be much less inclined to go on tilt with $200 left in front of me than with $40 left in front of me. Silly, I know, but it actually helped.
However, at about the time I moved up limits three things happened simultaneously: 1) I got better at ignoring the swings on my stack (and just rebuying if my stack got below 12BB), so seeing a short stack in front of me would no longer cause any tilt. 2) I got better at poker, so negative swings were less frequent and less severe. 3) I discovered that if I bought in with less than the default buy-in people would assume that was all my money, and assume I that I was probably just there to gamble and have fun, so I'd get more action.
So now I always buy in for between 1 and 5 big bets less than the default (more-or-less at random within that range, and never on an even number--always something like 2.63 or 3.97 big bets short of a default buy-in).
