Maier and Detroit Speed both offer a quality, high end product. They are slightly different in their aims though. Detroit Speed draws on many influences from the owner's experience at GM. They builds modern suspension components designed to provide vastly improved handling and refinement, They have the best construction quality of just about anything available on the aftermarket, and use many OEM manufacturing processes. Their subframes' frame rails are hydroformed, and their Mustang K member is cast aluminum. Mike Maier has a different background - racing. He also builds and sells great parts which have more of an emphasis on all out performance with more adjustability to be able to fine tune your vehicle for a particular driving style, preference, or track.
As for the automatic, you'll have to do a little research on which engine and transmission control units will work. I know an automatic rules out the use of the Ford Racing wiring harness and PCM, but don't really know what would work.
