I personally prefer, if NetworkManager is only restarted on failures.
If someone explicitly killed NetworkManager via SIGTERM, they probably 
expect NM to stay down.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773213

If you can convince NM upstream, that always is a better default, I'll 
update the Debian package accordingly though.

Another alternative is, that you create a drop-in snippet locally for 
NetworkManager.service and adjust the behavior to your liking.
Thankfully, this is quite simple with systemd.

Michael
