I AGREE.

I would do leave auto but in real life I would do manual config as habit.
3) When configuring EtherChannels, in which circumstances should we use the

I would do only if the req specifies some thing like..MAKE SURE or else no
extra commands.
This is to ensure that the etherchannel group can only run the
etherchannel protocol specified by the channel-protocol command. The
channel-group interface configuration command does not override the
etherchannel protocol command.
