In stop & go traffic, if your going at like 7 mph...from neutral would you throw it into 1st or 2nd?

I remember my Integra would lock me out and not allow me to shift from neutral to 1st if going like 5 mph. But I notice the S will allow me to shift.

In stop and go traffic, I alternate between first, second and coasting in neutral.

1st gear at that speed...

1st below 10-12. Of course, you usually get up to 20 once in a while so you're shifting quite a bit, at least here in Seattle.

whatever gear doesn't lug the engine?

if I'm rolling downhill at 7mph then 2nd gear

At 7mph i'll put the car in first or else the engine will be lugging too much, unless your rolling down a hill .

I once threw it into first while going 25

I hardly ever use first gear if I'm already moving. Anything above 5mph, I'm going to feather the clutch into second.

It should be noted that *technically* you should never be in neutral while moving. I usually try keeping the car in first until I'm at a complete stop- it reduces so much strain on the drivetrain. It's just about impossible to shift smoothly from N to 1 without either jerking the car or burning the clutch.
