Should be none.  If you use "telinit 5" or "init 5" to change your run
levels, network should turn off and NM turn on at level 5.

I agree.  Actually, I detest NM.  It's quite inconsistent and doesn't
like being told to use fixed IPs or routes or DNS servers or anything
like that.  If you use DHCP, NM is probably fine.

If you used a fixed network config (or just a few), then I use network
and multiple network profiles that can be launched from grub.  I have
grub entries that specify "netprofile=Office" and "netprofile=Home".
Works fine.
