If you are going for all out performance then you are probably going to be replacing the tranny eventually anyway... but go with the stick, especially considering you said you liked it more.

Wow, people that have only driven 5spd stang are really biased, drive a stang with a **** kit, stall and some big gears and then make your decision.
