You don't choose the Netflix quality setting on the device, it is a global setting changed online within your account/profile settings. One scenario where this is useful is if you are in a situation like the OP (you have a monthly data cap you are concerned with hitting).
Leaving it at the default "Auto" would suffice for most other uses. When you initially try to stream the video, Netflix (among other things) does a "bandwidth check" to see what quality it can send to you: If it determines you are on a relatively slow 3G connection, it isn't going to stream HD content because it knows you can't support it.
One downside to Auto would be if your connection fluctuates too much, resulting in the video freezing as it readjusts quality - something docj mentioned his son is working on :)
