Phil 997 said:As the others have said ,its very much personal prefference and where you drive ,if its a daily and lots of town driving then PDK may be more relaxed. if you want the driver involvement then manual might suit you better . neither is better they are just different and suit different peoples needs.
I did enjoy the ease of my auto box but also like the involved feel of my manual box and the added advantage on the 997.2 of a brake hold on 5% inclines this stops rollback as you move feet on hill starts.( its called drive off assistant).

This brake-hold is on the manual? Noticed my car doing something this and couldn't really explain it, despite thinking it was helpful.
