We have an '07 with a six speed. I tend to agree that the transmission is just a matter of preference, the mileage is about the same with either. The one thing we regret not getting on ours was the Sunrider soft top. We have the standard soft top. The Sunrider will fold the front half of the top back like a giant sunroof opening up with no need to zip out the side and back windows. Boy, I wish we had that one option. I like full doors because you can roll the windows down instead of having to take them out like on the half doors or fumble with a zipper. In nice weather you have to take the doors off anyway : )

I have an 06 Rubicon with an auto tranny. Not an X series.
For offroad I prefer the automatic. Of course your choice may differ. Hell, in traffic I like the auto better too.
I did get the dual top option with mine and have the sunrider top. It's wonderful! I can just pop it open any ol time and have the joy of it being open without having to take the whole top down. Though, once I get that top down all the way, it stays there quite awhile :)
I also have full doors for the same reason that Les does. You can just roll the window down, no zipper to fool with. The full doors don't really interfere with anything as far as visibility as far as I can tell. I WOULD like to get a set of half doors though for running topless... just because. Maybe a set of tubular doors.
