Well auto is definately more stable, but manual is stronger no doubt. Auto is quieter, and manual is more chirpy......I say it depends on the site. If I am hunting somewhere with a lot of trash or iron like a house yard or trahy park, I will run auto. Now if I am hunting smewhere like a ball field that is fairly clean I will crank up manual. Different methods for different sites

Another thing to consider is mind/audio fatigue. If you're running manual and getting a ton of falsing you can actually get desensitized to signals and miss targets that would otherwise stand out loud and clear on the more stable auto +3. If I'm hunting large open areas or places without much trash I crank the manual and swing fast to cover ground and for deep targets. If it's mid to high trash I usually run manual but slow down a lot more. If I'm feeling lazy or just want to relax I run auto +3 or if I've ran manual for a long time and need a break I might switch to auto for a while.
