Switching from VNAV to ALT HOLD

Hello Folks,
I am relatively new to TurboFan Flying..
Let s say I have set 36,000 on the Altitude Window..
And FL360 is set as Cruise Alt on my FMC..
Now I have been climbing using Vnav and on reaching FL360 what i ve
observed is that Vnav continues to stay on ..

At this point would you switch to ALT HOLD on the MCP disengaging Vnav and hence speed window becoming active
OR
Let the Vnav on but expect to see ALT HOLD on the PFD without manually engaging ALT HOLD button on the MCP
OR
Just let the vnav be on with out bothering much..

Appreciate your clarification in this regard !
