Esxi nic speed

I need your opinion on setting the nic speed in esxi host. Is it better to  hardcore the speed  instead of leaving it to auto negotiate?

I can see it is on auto negotiate by default. Network engineer wants us to hardcore it. I want to know whether it is recommended practice by VMware to hardcore the speed?
