The various forms of auto are almost worthless in most cases. In an R22 90% rpm and 80kts will buy you about 20' from 1000' because although your groundspeed is higher so is your rate of descent. Unless over forest, built up area or sea, wouldn't even consider them. Also forget 0 speed autos you're better off with 360 turns or S turns.
