Usually it's an autobet. The exceptions for me depend on the board, my position, and the nature of my opponents (there's a great big DUH). If you missed the flop with unpaired cards and there are overcards, or if the flop is very coordinated and is in the "sweet spot" (ie, something like T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], as opposed to 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]), I would consider checking. Likewise if you miss or there are lots of overs to your hand and your opponent will play very aggressively with any pair, consider checking.

I don't think there is a hard, fast rule to apply, but the short answer is no, don't always autobet. But usually.
