The vast majority of the time, auto channel hopping will be a lot better than the end user picking channel 1 or 6 or 11. You are starting a thread to help people, don't give them the incorrect information --- just becasue your specific router, specific router firmware and specific neighbour geographic situation doesn't work for you. I live in a high rise condo with at least 20 wifi networks near me --- picking a specific channel is inappropriate. You are trying to give general advice, don't give them a false sense of security by picking channel 11.
Do you have stats that say that "auto channel hopping will be a lot better" ?
In France, the provider of 40% of Wifi routers says in its FAQ that one of the solution to solve WiFi connection issue is to... specify a channel manually.

I did a few duckduckgo searches and most recommended to turn auto channel hopping off.

Conventional wisdom says that they put a lot of smarts in the router firmware to channel hop when they face interference. Right now my wifi router is on channel 11 --- not because I manually picked channel 11, but because the router picked channel 11.
