That's one of the main questions for both "sides".

Maybe we have to choose between 2-pitch (Hurri, Spit) and manual variable pitch (Bf 109, Bf 110) ... disputable which one is better.

2-pitch allows easy flying without much thinking about engine RPM (except for power dive) but you will have suboptimal power output while climbing or in combat. (The "fine" setting was only allowed for take-off and landing, not for climbing or fighting)

Manual variable pitch requires constantly attention on the engine rpm and adjusting the propeller pitch, but when set properly gives you optimal power in any situation. If set wrong you get suboptimal power in the best case, but in the worst case it kills your engine in a few seconds.

Or we have constant speed for Hurricane and Spitfire and automatic for Bf 109 and Bf 110, then not much will change to the current situation. Propaby damage from overloading the engine with high boost and low rpm with the constant speed unit.
