In my company:

Auto flight: At least one A/p in CMD and A/T on
Manual flight: Other than above configuration

The recommended procedure is to use A/T for all type of approaches.

We just have to pay attention at 27 feet RA, that A/T will retard, sometimes we have to guard the throttle so it will not retard to soon/fast.

The advantage to use A/T during manual approach is we don't have to increase FAS in gusty condition, because A/T through airspeed and acceleration sensing, it will correct wind and gust.
The FAS will remain in VRef + 5.
