Maybe you already know, but I'm very happy with this style of vim-autocompletition:

taken from my .vimrc:

" smart mapping for tab completion
function InsertTabWrapper()
      let col = col('.') - 1
      if !col || getline('.')[col - 1] !~ '\k'
          return "\<tab>"
      else
          return "\<c-p>"
      endif
endfunction
inoremap <tab> <c-r>=InsertTabWrapper()<cr>


" Dictionary completions
set dictionary-=/usr/share/dict/words dictionary+=/usr/share/dict/words
set complete-=k complete+=k
