I leave mine on AI servo.  Select the specific focus point I want, and then
go.

There's a custom function to expand the focus point to use some "hidden"
ones.  This helps with tracking subject movement.  If the subject is moving
a little more predictably and you can keep your focus point on the subject,
then I'd turn it off.  What I have found is that expanding the focus points
sometimes means the camera uses one of the hidden points, and the point I
wanted isn't tack sharp.

Easier to put into practice than explain.  Let me know if what I wrote above
makes sense or not.
