I've not been in an auto with a BHAF, but since I put mine in, I love the shift whining!

5spd V10 dodge truck

It was fun until driving for a few hours and the stiff clutch would make my leg sore. And rear tires were gettin expensive.

Manual all the way! I'd take a manual over anything, even an ally!

If I could afford the completely built auto, I'd go that route in a second for pulling or anything else. But since I can't can't afford to shell out $5000 plus after the expense of the truck and everything else I would want I would definatley keep my manual tranny. I wouldn't touch a stock Dodge Auto tranny for nothin and I don't pretend to know anything about the other brands.
