I generally stick it in Eco, but to be honest I can’t tell the difference between that and comfort!

Acceleration is less urgent and it seems to change gear sooner.

This past winter I learned to keep it in Auto because it was "beast" mode for the snowy conditions. Far quicker to lock/unlock the center and rear diffs than the other modes. For those conditions, it was brilliant. That said, I did notice a pretty drastic drop in mpg using that mode in the dry. Not sure why, but it was evident.

Since then, I've typically used Comfort mode unless the roads are bad and warrant Auto. 20MY Defender 110 Fuji White

Yes ,, That is the conclusion I have come to also.
Comfort for the everyday drive & Auto if the roads get slippery wet here in Florida.
I also got the feeling that Auto burns more fuel!
