My understanding of the rules (if you can call it that) is that you
should generally avoid using the "automatically hide…" option. It
should only be used in circumstances where the need for the scrollbar
to be visible is pretty rare.
Of course, this is just my interpretation, and Apple seems to break
this fairly often!

Maybe this question was more related to the hi mailing list but
since the list committed suicide, it might be worth looking for an
answer on the Cocoa list since this is a Cocoa feature.
In Interface Builder, with the latest releases of the OS, one can
"Automatically hide scrollers".
Question: is there any official recommendation on when this feature
should be used?
The current situation doesn't seem to be very clear to Apple itself.
Case 1:
While writing this e-mail in Mail, the text editor hides the
vertical scroller but if I look at some short e-mails I received,
the scroller is visible whereas it could be hidden.
Case 2:
In the Finder Icon mode, scrollers are hidden if possible. In the
list mode, they are not.
Case 3:
In the Finder left view, scrollers are hidden if possible. In Xcode
left list, scrollers are always visible.
Case 4:
In Apple Mail, Accounts list, signatures list -> no scrollers
In Apple Mail, Rules list -> scrollers
