Well, i'd always AF unless it doesn't perform well
(in macro photography or at night when it hunts too much

)

AF most of the time..
When on a tripod, use MF more often.

unless I trying to create bokeh shots, then I'd MF.

I use AF for 99% of my shots. However, when I have the time I MF to try and see if I can do better than the AF. So far the AF has been pretty good. However, I always MF when taking macros or low-light shots.

Same here. Hmmm. Maybe we can safely assume that this is the norm?
