When mounting any yagi beam to a metal mast, is it best to
insulate the boom from the metal mast?
No, yagi beams are electrically '0' in the middle of the
elements, so there is no need to insulate the boom
from the mast.

Are there any benefits in insulating the boom from the mast or
not when mounting?
I can think of no benefits to insulate. NOT insulating has the
benefit that static can run to ground if the mast is grounded.

Log-per antennas should be insulated from their masts as the
booms are part of the feed, and should not contact each other
or ground.
