Using Endless mode is my favorite way to use tables. Here's some ways I use endless mode in tables:
With a jump back to step 0, the table is no longer 16 steps long, giving you polymetric modulation.
Use it like a custom stepped LFOs by doing things like using the Mod command in the FX column. This is also really cool with setting the pitch or mod glide amount via the FX column in a table.
Use a slow speed that's a multiple of 6 (like 1E or 24 or even slower) and use the transpose column to do some slower transpositions of a pattern. This can be really easy to stay in key if you stick to pentatonic notes in the pattern and perfect intervals in the table.
You can create a few different tables that do different things (either small differences or even radically different things) and use the Table Probability FX to give a small percentage chance that tables later in the pattern will get used. This is particularly cool in endless mode because you can have a small enough percentage that a table might last more than a whole pattern and when the pattern loops, the endless table will still be doing the polymeteric thing.
