I am having problems getting MySQL to use indexes with a datetime field. I was thinking about changing it to an int field and seeing if it works better. This may help you decide which way to go. I'll let you know if I find anything out about the indexes on date fields.
I do not think that there will be much difference between the two but when it is all said and done... less is less. I would personally go with the auto increment int.
