manual.....the design of an automatic transmission will wear out over time no matter what (if you take care of it it will take a longer time)......plus I would rather have to change a clutch than overhaul an automatic transmission...

Based around real life application...
Automatic will outlast a manual tranny
Manual trannies are typically abused, and the automatic does a better job at shifiting at the right points.
Synchros get eaten up in a manual tranny.
Althought I prefer to drive manual, automatics last longer because they typically escape abuse.

my only beef with my stupid auto is that it downshifts for every damn thing.
a small uphill climb and itll downshift, u press it lightly and itll downshift. am at the point where i get really happy if it doesnt downshift sometimes in city driving.
it seems hard to keep this thing revving under 2500 rpm all the time

If u drive it regular and don't put it into 1 then 2 then D on automatic your tranny should last long. For manual they do last long too but then u need to change the clutch and also the 3rd gear grinds a lot on some Honda's. Maybe their synchronizer isn't that good or is worn out.
