Manual for me, learned to drive on one and it's stuck with me. Owned an auto for about a year, ended up converting it to a manual because I couldn't take it any more.
My old 4L60E used to throw the back end out around corners too often in the wet. You'd slow down for the corner, it would choose 2nd, you'd get to the apex and gently apply throttle, and the auto would say "oh hey he wants to go faster, how about I kick down to 1st" and all of a sudden. That box was retarded. Switched to a manual where I know what I'm doing with the gears and all was well, never slipped again (unintentionally)
