In my opinion you should go for both ways, especially when an auto-blog can be setup in few hours or less if you have all ingredients. As far as I know there are many out there combining quality with quantity, they might have 1-2-10 blogs hand written, updated regularly and probably few/tens/hundrends/thousands of auto blogs (depending on each webmaster). Also there are many mixing auto posting with hand writing.
There are benefits having quantity that’s still a fact, but with so many going on auto mode, it’s probably getting harder for everyone.
Choosing feeds that are not oversaturated, doing some smart optimization to it, adding some custom text to the post title and body … might help to get a good position on SE even with auto blogs. The benefits are obvious – more time for promoting – hundreds/thousands of pages indexed by SE – a source to push up your main blogs – using them for ABC linking and so on.
It’s just my opinion nothing more. Cheers, Johnny
