Which is better in a crowded wifi environment?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

All depends.  If the auto algorithm is good, and periodically rechecks 
the environment, I'd say use it.

If you're using cheap wifi gear, then I'd just resign myself to doing it 
manually and periodically rechecking.

I do not recommend using auto select because the Access-Point can only measure the signal at the AP site, but not at the client's side. You need to figure out what channel is most clear at the AP and at the client.

The problem is that they keep changing. Neighbors' changes so often. I 
nopticed if I let my wifi router autochange for each boot up, it can be 
on 2, 8, etc. instead of the recommended 1, 6, and 11. :(

You can't do anything against that by changing channels, the band is
overused. The channels also overlap. You can try to should your
apartment with aluminum foil on the walls.

If you clients support it, you can get an access point that support 5 GHz band, this band offers much more channels and is less used.
