Since the 802.3 spec doesn't define if a NIC has to still support autonegotiation features if it is in a forced state some vendors implement it and some don't (e.g. Cisco's devices randomly support it and then don't between IOS revs).
I would say, if you have control over both ends, force both - especially with gigabit speeds, although autoneg with the chipsets today are much better than stuff just a short while ago.
