I manually number dissertations of a couple hundred pages and many sections/subsections and prefer it that way, but again this is for a final document formatting, so sections aren't being added/deleted/moved/etc. For a document that is still in progress, sure, I'd probably use the autonumbering.

I admit I haven't put enough effort into taming numbering with styles and should do so, but I've encountered enough annoyances with them over the years that I just whip them out quickly and painlessly.
