auto vs. 4spd, the age old question

So i'm having a car build dilemma. Up until this last I was going to convert my car to a 4spd. I even have a 4spd/bellhousing/hurst shifter and the car originally wasnt going to be any type of drag car. Just a fun weekend race car.

Now comes the problem, I had the car out at the local mopar show and it ran incredibly consistent when launched correctly. Down to the 0.00x realm of consistent

So now i'm wondering if i should just keep the auto if the car is able to be consistent at the track and just live with the boring auto on autox days?

Which do you do more of track or auto x?
That being said you can always manually shift the auto into each gear
