What keeps you from doing both? If it's properly set up, autosave won't overwrite your intentional saves, after all. Yes, relying on auto save can lead to the bad habbit of not doing periodic manual saves, but with a tiny bit of self control that shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, it's just personal preference. But if you're working on a somewhat unreliable platform (like my ATI notebook, which freezes up every few hours of so) autosave can be a real blessing.
