I shoot mostly in AI-Servo mode (Canon) because I'm shooting wildlife and birds in flight. For stationary subjects, I switch to One-Shot mode. I use the shutter button for AF stop and start and the back button for AF-lock, if I want to lock focus and recompose. However, my preferred method, is to stick with shutter button and steer the AF point with the joy-stick.
