It depends upon the situation and the lighting
condition.  

Here is the problem with AF systems in general.  AF
systems track a moving subject and will try to keep
the lens in focus .  It does not make forecasts of
where the subject will move next.

The point I am trying to make is this, you must know
your subject well.  This has made many great
photographers very competent and very good at what
they do without the aid of the latest and greatest AF
systems. 

Do I use AF?  Yes on static subjects using spot AF and
trap focus with AF assist on moving subjects..  I
rarely use servo with my PZ-1 to track my subjects
though since I pan a lot..

Rick..
