It really depends on how you're going to drive the car and if anyone else is going to drive the car. I had a manual valve body in my Duster and it was kind of fun to shift gears all the time but that was a hot rod. In a daily driver I'd prefer to just put it in D and not worry about it. The more "hot rod" the car is then the more likely you'll like a manual valve body. If it is a cruiser that your wife drives then maybe stick with a full automatic.
