Ron,
I observed this behavior of my G2:
When in CAF-mode the trigger is pressed half way and the AF-brackets are then moved towards a certain area, there are quite often AF-errors (° °).
When in whatever mode the AF-brackets are pre-aimed at the same area, and the trigger (or focus lock) is pressed after that, there are noticeably less AF-errors.
Perhaps active AF assists only the first focussing, and displacements after that just have to rely on passive AF?
(In that case, I am happy that I have not settled for a G1, which has no active AF at all.)
To descend to your primary question, I would shoot a roll in CAF-mode with subjects moving at different speeds, and then shoot another roll with prefocusing and relying on DOF.
In that way, you know what works best for you.
Keep in mind that the Contax G are both no sports cameras. There is no predictive AF.
