Like others here, I have, like, and use all of the above.
Lately I've been using my Pioneer PL-L800 full auto, but mostly because I just restored it and it's my latest toy.
My biggest issue with manual turntables, is I don't get to listen to records until late at night, and there's a big chance I will doze off on the couch before the last side ends. This is where auto return scores big with me.
For ultimate qualify though I think you can't beat a manual. Then again I don't own a car with an automatic transmission either, although I wish I did each time I get stuck in heavy traffic.
