There's very much a luck-of-the-draw element to it. I'm in Canada and I'd wager over 60% of the books I try to buy are eligible for the codes. My inclination is to use the codes and to buy the non-agency books for the most part, as I'm finding those faster than I can read them anyway. I expect the agency books will be there to buy later if/when I run out of non-agency books.
The one problem I do run into is when a favourite author is split between the two. Harry Turtledove's a favourite of mine, and 80% or so of his books are non-agency, but I'm going to have to buy those remaining 20% eventually.
Another challenge, when a series is split (Karen Traviss' Gears of War books are split between two publishers now, one agency and one non-agency; thankfully, the earlier books are the non-agency ones).
