And I believe on my 6D live view is only available in creative modes. Also JMO, but if you've got the money to spend on a 50D, you should know enough about your camera to never use the basic modes. Get comfortable in aperture and shutter priority modes, then move the M. Your camera should never be on that green square. *plink* *plink*

I was told earlier in the thread that Av mode was the way to go for action because of the lens I bought. By locking in at 2.8 and raising the ISO, the camera chooses the fastest shutter speed. But I guess what you're saying is attempting to achieve the same ends...lock in a fast shutter speed and raise the ISO, and the camera will choose the best aperture width. And, depending in the f value that is chosen, more of the shot could be in focus rather than just narrowly focusing on the subject?
