Unless your model happens to be a cube automatic UV mapping tools are never useful. Doing it manually is always best as these tools can't magically know which areas are more important than others and usually aren't very good as sorting it.

There really isnt any "easy mode" button in ANY program that gives you good results, unless you're talking about the unfold UV's button in the Maya UV Editor - that thing is a frickin' GOD SEND!
