It really should come down to your personal preference. I've got to use mine as a daily driver and the wife needs to be able to drive it (and I am not teaching her to drive stick on a new car!). So for those reasons I will chose the auto. The fact it is faster is just a bonus to me. If you are looking to seriously drag race it or use it as a DD, I think the auto will be better for your needs. If you are looking for a weekend cruiser/toy or tracking the car, the stick will be better.
