1. You never tow an automatic with wheels on the ground in neutral- The trans pump is not pumping vital fluid for cooling. Coasting in neutral would simulate the same conditions, causing excess heat (#1 AT destroyer).

2. Delay in power if you need to gain speed for any reason

$.02 YMMV
Number 1 absolutely. The car must be left running if you're going to coast in neutral in an automatic.
