Just a preference to me. I don't enjoy driving a sissy stick.

I've had my share of issues with AODs. They can be built to handle a good amount of power, but not all shops have the knowledge to build them correctly. I had a local shop buildone 2 years ago for my Son's truck ($1800 with them doing the take out and install), and I had nothing but problems the whole time. I took it back to the shop 6 times the 1st year. As I write this reply, it's sitting in the driveway with only 1st and reverse. I picked up a new (rebuilt) one on Friday, that has Alto red clutches, Kolene steels, Kevlar band, and a A+ servo, along with a shift kit. I would recommend whoever you use to use quality parts, and find someone who specializes in AODs. They'redifficult to set up correctly.

Here's a link I found valuble. I use it all the time. These guys have a lot of knowledge on all Ford auto trannies.

That's probably part of the problem. The fact that my roommate doesn't use a guy that has the proper knowledge or use quality parts. He just uses some guy that his dad recommended that happens to be a pastor. If he's a pastor he should be honest and say, "hey, I don't really know what I'm doing with these AOD's and I use crappy parts. Is that going to be a problem?"
