There are pro's and cons for both, so it usually comes down to personal preference after driving a few.
Manual:
Pros: direct drive, it's what most are used to; better mpg than auto; good off-road;
Cons: clutch can be heavy for traffic use; expensive to replace Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF)
Auto:
Pros: Easy to drive; easy to tow with; easy in traffic; good off-road;
Cons: consume more fuel; poor Torque Converter; expensive to repair/replace

Test drive both, see which you prefer. Simple as that really, both have good and bad points as mentioned. I was dead against an auto until I drove one, wouldn't change it to a manual for **** now!
