For longevity driven in normal condition nothing beats manual. So if you drive alot and tend to keep your car for a long time get manual.
My Audi A4 manual trans hit 125,000 miles and driven hard after I got my new turbo on it and it still ticking (no slippage symptoms yet). BTW, all v8 X5 come with auto.
