Authenication Mode

I've been reading on the authentication modes - Windows and mixed (sql
server). I'd like some comments on the pros and cons of each and which
most people use.
As I understand it with Windows your windows login is used to get you into
the SQL server. What happens after that - do you still need to assign
users to the database?
Thanks.

Yes. Login will just allows you to authenticate to SQL Server. After that
you will have associate the login with a database user and
assign permission for that database user to access each of the required
databases.
