Can you describe exactly what you understood? (for the sake of future readers of this thread)

On the risk of not analysing it enough, I'd say nunca and siempre have no bearing on the choice regarding aspect (imperfect-perfect/general).

Regarding Angélica's examples, for instance:

El abuelo siempre nos regalaba juguetes (he did that on a regular basis/his gifts where always toys and never other stupid things as the clothes you've just gave us/he did that because some cause, like a guilty conscience/he used to give us gift much more frequently than other grandparents do/ e...t...c...e...t...e...r...a...)

El abuelo siempre nos regaló juguetes (it was kinda norm to him/he never forgot us and overlooked giving us something/etcetera)
