4.10's are good for both standards and automatics. I have them in both and wouldn't bother with 3.73's myself.
exactly what i wanted to hear...what have you ran in the quarter so far in your sixer with those in it?
The sixer is a daily driver and is an automatic. I have not run thisV6 at the track, but others on here have done so with theirs, so hopefully someone with 4.10's in a manual-equipped V6 will chime in.

yeah there has been one fella i know of that ran his at the trackwith a manualand said he had a big drop off in power after 90mph...thats kind of why im worried about them

Where are you going to be using your car the most....on the track or on the street?

if your pushing alot of power and have a street car 4.10's will be hard to get traction with a 5 speed, but if your just stock or lightly modified there should be no problems.

pretty much some people cant really have a feel for the clutch so any mistake like the slightest dump of the clutch can make you lose traction and go sideways, but if you have a nice suspension going then you shouldnt have this problem im refering to stock suspension with someone pushing a good amount of more hp then a stock mustang.

it also depends on what kind of tires your using. like if you have slicks losing traction is non exsistent

yup in my opinion. but theres people who like 4.10's over 3.73's its more of a preference then anything.
