As a rule of thumb, essential data is most likely to be loaded with the very first deployment of your solution in production. Imagine: your solution is already running for a certain period of time in production, and you want to deploy a new custom or hybris extension into the system. You need to load (configuration or sample) data (ImpEx) which is related to that extension. The hac allows you to run updatesystem to do this. You have the option to load essential data on a global level. That mean essential data from all extensions will be loaded (you never want to do that, because that may override data that has been modified over time with a Cockpit or the Backoffice). Or you can select to load project data for each extension individually.
Therefore, I recommend to create project data, not essential data.
Best,
