I'd go with the 6MT: You can get brembo's with the manual and for future upgrades, if one is so inclided, you will have more choices for a twin turbo setup. You can put a TT on an auto, but (for now at least) they are being designed for the VQ with 6MT.
Oh, and it's more fun rowing through the gears - if you like that kinda thing

We don't buy there cars for trunk space. But the G35s ain't even deep. The floor is really high, I've never seen that before.

Automatic or manual?
Pretty much the stock answer here....the more you have to deal with stop-and-go traffic, rush-hour jams, and urbanized areas, the more you will want an automatic, or at least an clutchless automanual. I could not imagine driving in the Los Angeles, New York, or D.C. Metro areas with a stick.

If it's a daily driver - Auto...if not - 6MT all the way!
It's just too hard dealing with stop and go traffic in LA on a day-to-day basis (and you would rarely get out of 2nd gear anyways)...not to mention all the hills in my area...it would be a drag on a daily basis...
