I tend to lean towards dba managed filesizes but it is not a hard rule. I do not like a runaway loading/batch proces filling up a filesystem, however I do not like to get a call in the middle of the night that the batch job is going to run out of space either.

Most of our databases are DBA managed filesystems and warnings are send out in sufficient time so far.
