Depends on what issues you are trying to correct with the factory reset. Anything that has modified the system partition needs the full factory reset to correct. The first level factory reset will not touch that. The Kobo Patcher patches can be removed by a re-install of the firmware but some other modifications will not be completely removed. Basically, if you look at the KoboRoot.tgz file for an installer, if it places files anywhere other than in /mnt and it's subdirectories, the first level factory reset will not remove them. If you look at the NickelMenu installer, the file installed in /usr/local/Kobo/imageformats will not be removed though the ones installed in the .adds directory in the FAT32 partition will be wiped.
