Entirely up to you. I tend to live in manual mode because I want to leave my options open whether I'm modifying aperture or speed at any point in time and don't want to be keeping an eye on the other parameter whilst adjusting the one. Presumably you can modify P-mode to offset it biassed...

Aye, that's come out well :)
