I do the same thing except with Program mode. It's kinda like Auto, but with being able to shift the exposure quickly. I find that works best for me when a moment happens without me having time to think about the shot or set up for it.
If I have time to set up for the shot, definitely Manual.
Aperture priority is a great mode too, but if you are not using Auto ISO (and set at 100-400), you can find yourself with some shutter speeds that are too long without a tripod.
I choose my ISO based on what I'm going to do with the pictures. If its just for posting here or on Facebook, I leave the ISO at Auto. The noise just isn't an issue at Internet posting size/resolution.
