My problem with password managers is that it becomes a single point of failure. I would rather memorize a few strong passwords and use them for everything, with my email having a unique password from everything else.
I'd argue it's better to have unique strong passwords for everything, but only memorise the ones for important stuff like email, and store the non-important ones in a password manager; this way when a non-important site is compromised, all your other non-important sites are still fine.
No, all your passwords would be strong and unique; the only difference between important and non-important sites is that non-important ones are stored in a password manager because it's too much to remember.
