Default Manual trans or modern auto?

I am in the planning stage for my performance handling build on my 85 Crown vic. Along with the suspension research I am looking at transmission options. I am wondering what would be better. Doing a manual swap with a T-5 or so. It has been done. A little more work. or going with a more modern automatic 4w70e or so and doing paddle shift.
The engine will be a Ford V8 either a push rod or a modualer. I my do a complete chassis swap to a newer model panther 03-11 would love to do a 03-04 Mercury Marauder.
Thoughts ideas ect
