I weld (sometimes for a living) and like my standard flip up 2X4 gold lens helmet best.

Unless I'm doing light work with a mig turned down, or just lightly tacking pieces together for welding, I'm using my old 2X4 flip lens hood with a gold lens.

Most, if not all of the auto shade (that I've tried) helmets don't go dark enough to weld all day (for me). If they do they are real dark and not like the gold lens at all. Then they are a real pain when trying to grind and prepare welds between stringers. They are always tripping off as the grinder starts throwing sparks. Also I prefer a clear not a #2 if I'm hood down, and not welding.
