If you're a purist, the manual will put you in slightly better touch with the truck, but I prefer the auto. Shifting in perpetually heavy SoCA traffic gets old fast. Offroad, I give up some engine braking but gain ease of control and have little worry about stalling it at a bad time. Resale value is a consideration too.
I imagine that 99% of Stabilitrak systems will never activate. But if you're in the one percent, you'll be very very glad its there.
