Better to only do it once every 3-6 months and in between refunds make sure to have some transactions on the PayPal account.

Is it easier/faster than contacting the actual company?

There are no hard and fast rules.

I've had refunds Issued Immediately, whilst other times I've had to wait quite a while.

Yea you are right, I wasn’t saying it will take 3-6 months for one refund. I meant to say it’s better to wait 3-6 months after your PayPal refund because they keep track of it and if you do it often I believe they ban your acc or limit it. To be on the safe side it’s better to spread out every refund and have some legit transactions on the account before you try again.
