My son is F1 this year. Here was my experience last year.
1. For band 1, you should apply 直資 schools that you like (Many good ones but high tuition though). For band 2, you should try some 直資, if you want to go to Eng schools. Otherwise, it can be easy to be assigned to Chinese schools in lucky draw (depends on distincts of course)
2. You can choose 2 schools in 自行 process. They have similar timeframes with 直資 applications. If you got offer from 直資 and you do like to go there, you can sign the letter first (as I heard you can get it back later). After interviewed in these 2 schools, you can call them and check the result, saying you have 直資 offer, they may reply you (esp if that is good 直資). Some even give you hint by 2nd interviews.etc
I heard some cases that they didn't take the offer from 直資, joined the lucky draw. The result was not good, they brought the offer letter back to 直資 to knock door in July, some were successful.
