I love standard transmissions because that's what I learned to drive on, so it's second nature to me (even when stuck in the parking lot that is I-45 in Houston). My last couple vehicles were autos and I really missed shifting - when I get into my truck (which is an auto) after driving the Z all weekend, I find myself constantly searching for the clutch and have to focus really hard to tell my left foot not to do anything.
Get the one you're most comfortible driving and the one you enjoy the best. Take both for a test drive - when I did, I knew immediately that I missed driving a stick. Had I not tested both, I'm not sure I would have been completely satisfied with my decision.
