That choice would purely depend on your personal flying skill and currency. Frankly, how can an Examiner say afterwards the ILS that the autopilot flew on your behalf, was perfect - and then give you as the pilot, a top assessment for the manoeuvre. One argument is that a true proficiency test should be flown as 50 percent raw data non automatics and the remaining 50 percent testing the skill of the pilot at programming the automatics.
There's no argument to be made, and that was my point. When the criteria is a coupled approach, one flies a coupled approach.
Given the choice to hand-fly an approach during a checkride, most will choose automation. It allows enhanced situational awareness, and it allows one to expand one's focus beyond the panel directly beyond one's face. It promotes a greater opportunity to pass. When one is under scrutiny and one's employment and certification is only the line in a proficiency check, how many prefer to hand-fly the procedure vs. doing it on autopilot?
