You can use either. The auo one has a cooling tube through the end tank. Manual doesnt. Just get the manual one if possible. Looks neater.

It is indeed common to have plastic side tanks. They tend to be the weak point but you'll get a good ten years before they become a problem.

A lot of radiator suppliers will provide an automatic radiator as default, i guess because of the predominance of the automatic transmission in these cars. Only difference is the driver's side end tank has the fittings for the auto trans fluid cooler.
