Personally, I say no...but that's my own personal preference. I don't like the basic genetics of the autos...they all start with ruderalis genetics and that junk has no potency...so how can the end product be as good? But that's me...
Autoflowering seeds do take the guess work out of the lighting schedule as they will flower whenever they are ready, but I like to be able to "schedule" my flowering by turning it on when the plant is as mature as *I* want it to be.
