Erik, if I welded for a living, I would probably use an old school non-auto mask for mundane welding and a high buck auto for the tough jobs that auto's make a bit easier.
All that said, I have used a cheap HF auto for a few years now for my occasional tig welding at home. I grew up using a flip down standard helmet, so I don't really NEED to use auto darkening, but it sure is handy for some jobs. (I wish I had bought one sooner for when I built an airplane fuselage out of thin walled 4130)
