I use a click type but my good pal who is a serious engineer swears by the pointer/scale type as being gentler and progressive.
A good point regarding lubricated threads, I have a printed out table on the tool box lid showing values for diameter, pitch and dry/lubed values.
I sometimes actually refer to it as well!
(My favourite setting is "wind it up till it strips , then back off a quarter turn")
