With boxing so many horses the return may not be enough to cover your bet.
I used to box my top 3 but am now thinking of playing my top 2 over the top 3 to reduce the outlay.
In the end it depends on the situation. Sometimes if there are too many contenders to box and one horse stands out you could play it to win/place. If the odds on that horse are too low you might want to key box it with 3 or 4 of your other contenders.
There is no one size fits all formula. It depends on how many contenders there are and the odds. Always check the will pays combinations before choosing how to bet.
