If the other threads haven't definitely answered this then how will this one? Same answer as always:

If you're using properly coded apps you don't need an task killer. If you're stuck with using a problem app then you might find one useful but even then you don't need a task killer to kill apps. A task killer is just a duct tape solution. The problem is always a bad app and that should be addressed directly.

Autokilling is an especially good way to kill your battery.

Most of the former threads should indicate this.

I really understand that searching is a pain. But we have a sticky on this very subject on the same page you posted in.
