{le broda} can refer to anything at all that you have in mind, so
I don't understand exactly what you mean. In general it is not equivalent
to use one expression or the other. With {le} there is a certain thing
or things that you want to talk about, you have them identified, so you
will refer to them as {le ....}. All you need to do is pick a predicate
that will be helpful to your audience to identify what thing or things
you are making a claim about.

With {lo} you won't be making a claim about any specific thing or
things, you will only talk about the things that satisfy a certain
predicate, whether or not there are any of them around.
With {lo broda poi brode} you claim something about brodas
that brode. For example:

lo gerku poi cmoni cu na batci
A dog that barks won't bite.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
