What is the best practices for the date field in templates?  Is it best to use MS Word, date, and have it un-checked for automatic updates?  Or  use Smokeball Document creation date, or Today - Current Date (for PDF)? 

The issue comes if the document was created, and date is populated, and saved.  If the document is opened at a later date or printed only to be viewed the date updates to the date of the printing or viewing.
