Do you prefer Auto Saves or Manual Saves?

Auto-saving for sure. I don't mind if manual saves exist alongside it, but I don't think I've ever felt I was losing anything not having to force myself to find a save point.

On the other hand, I absolutely hate it when I lose all progress for making a stupid mistake during a fight, just because the game decided it was good design to not give me a save point for two hours of playtime. Seriously, I hate being punished just because I played too long.
