network vs NetworkManager service

Through trial and error I have determined that:

-if setting your network interfaces to be managed by NM, then do not start 
network, as NM will start it. If you start both and have the interfaces 
managed by NM, then you will have to restart network once you log in, in 
order to achieve an internet connection;

-if you do not use NM and do not have NM manage your ethernet interfaces, then 
just set network to start, but not NM, and you will also have an internet 
connection at boot.

The choice is yours, but if you use wireless, you are best off going with NM.
