We never used and maybe never will use one of them.
In most cases the way to go is pure and simple Typoscript for us.
But it depends on the situation.
If you work i.e. with external designers that don't know TYPO3 at all, the
autoparser thing might be better.
TV has advantages when you have many different layouts for different pages
(2 col, 3 col, with and without footer, etc.) and you are used to XML based
structures. But the way it is working is completely different from the "old
school" (alhtough I prefer to call it "other school") since you have to
fiddle around with mapping things which is not the usual way things are
handled in TYPO3.

Just my 2 cents
