I can only speak for my Ram 1500 Laramie with the V8-5.7L eTorque, but mine
doesn't turn on as easy and is pretty smooth since it is a "belt/generator
starting system".

Regardless, I like the ability to turn it off and leave it off if I want
depending on where I'm driving, so I bought the AutoStopEliminator.  Mine will
"save" the settings so if I disable it, it will stay off unless I toggle the
button again.
