Default Battery fill systems

I just had new batteries installed on my cart. I have the auto fill system that has the bulb you squeeze. I asked the installer which type of fill system he recommended, the bulb/squeeze type or the gravity fill type. He said neither, he recommended filling them by hand. He made a point that I had done in the past, after filling the batteries, check all of the levels in each cell. I did it and had one cell that the water level was below the plates to where I couldn't see any water. The installer said the pump type has a tendency to overfill and the gravity fill has a tendency to under fill. He recommended buying a garden pump up sprayer and using it to fill the cells one at a time to 1/8" below the plastic piece above the plates once a month.

What are your feelings on this?
