and it's after some reads that I decided to get a mirrorless body
i still use both SLR and mirrrorless, Canon and Sony and have no specific preference
Back to fast primes AFMA will give you more accuracy, precision depends on every camera body/lens specifications, for mirrorless cameras accuracy is not an issue since the sensor itself is used for autofocus.
for portraits with a fast prime you can focus and recompose on a SLR but the very thin DOF will decrease your hit rate even the slightest move of the subject (or your hand) will lead to a miss....
never said you can't with a DSLR. just the hit rate will be lower or you will see yourself forced to alter composition as to have the AF point on the eye
