do you guys use single point, spot, or autofocus expansion (the 4 spots) for BIF on the 7D?

For BIF, I do (AF Expansion). But as soon as i have a perched subject, i quickly switch back to single point. AF Expansion screwed up my perched birds a few times.

I do basically the same. Except if the perched bird is out on a limb with no other branches around to confuse the AF, I'll leave it on AF expansion to be more ready for the next shot.
