If you have your money in the bank there is no need or advantage to doing a border bounce.
If you need to synchronize your insurance with your extension dates then talk with your insurance company.
Is your Non-OA Visa expiring or is your 12 month permission to stay stamp in your passport expiring. If it is your Non-OA and you have insurance for 12 months you can do a border bounce to get a new 12 month entry stamp. If you extend in country you need to go to your Immigration Office and get their list of requirements for your particular visa type.
Insurance needs to be valid for the full year extension otherwise you're only stamped in till it's expiry date. Best to go to the office and get their most recent requirements list.
