Should the English website use href="x-default" when it doesn't auto-redirect to the user's language or country?

For each URL on my site, I'm auto-redirecting according to header accept language. The site arch is
English version: http://mydomain.com/page
Spanish version http://es.mydomaina.com/page
etc..
The english version is displayed unless I'm seeing a specific language other than en and that I support in the header, and then a redirect occurs.
Google says this:
For language/country selectors or auto-redirecting homepages, you should add an annotation for the hreflang value "x-default" as well:
My pages aren't language selectors, nor are they the homepage. But I am auto-redirecting.
My question is, should my english version be hreflang="x-default"
or/and hrefland="en"
?
