I think that if I were to use AP I would only AP the end time and leave the start time as is without padding. This would seem to reduce conflicts but while recording the most important part at the end. Comments?

In my experience best results are using AR rather than Autopadding certainly for the mainstream channels. In any case autopadding does not work at all well with ITV 1 HD recordings. You can set a clash with autopadding and not be informed (try setting 3 recordings with a clash produced by auto padding at changeover to a different channel while the other tuner is still recording).
For the odd channels that don't work well with AR use manual padding.
