I use Matrix the majority of the time, Center Weighted the rest and always shoot RAW. I shoot sports, so that can be tricky for metering much of the time. I'm usually at +1/3 or +2/3 stops on EC for night games. I shoot in Manual with Auto ISO and if it's too hot, I'm fine with adjusting the exposure in post. I don't worry about noise either because the D5 is as good as it gets at high ISO (my opinion). I have two D5, and it's the same with both bodies.
For day games, I'm at +1 or sometimes a higher because I'm trying to catch faces underneath helmets or hats, and will bring down the highlights in ACR. I find the D5 to still retain a lot of highlight info, so I'm not worried about blow outs.
I have a D500 too, but never go above +1/3 of a stop unless it's really bright as I'm not a big fan of the ISO noise. I don't use that body too much anymore and won't comment on it's highlight detail retention.
