auto update/create statistics

For an OLTP application with 100+ users, is it better to disable the
following two options:
Auto create statistics
Auto update statistics
...and instead run
exec sp_updatestats daily/weekly?
TIADepends on your setup. If you have a reasonably sized maintenance window, I
would go for a daily sp_updatestats.
The problem with Auto update statistics IMO is that it is most likely to
kick in when your system is at its busiest.
