in General
for installing an "os", say centos-x
- on a server
what do you do
automatic partition scheme
or
manual partition
if so, why?
also for
- a KVM
do you do an image install or an iso install
and again automatic or manual partition
why?
any thing other than LVM?

Always manual because automatic is for women (and americans).
in reality I at least set a smaller swap size because i don't see the point of having 16G swap on a 32GB RAM server. Also I don't like to have more partitions then necessary to not run into space issues.
The answer to this entirely depends on what the system is for.

Running a Minecraft server for messing about with a few friends? Template install is fine.
