Cars: Manual or Automatic transmission?

Bruh if you can drive a manual you can drive an auto. Like, there has never been a person that knows manuals that got in an auto and said "i give up, this is too hard"

As far as longevity goes, if you buy a used car with a standard transmission, it's almost a given that it will need a new clutch soon, and probably a throw-out bearing, maybe a clutch cylinder if it's hydraulic, and quite possibly some new synchros or gears in the transmission.

Although hot weather and deep water prematurely kill a lot of automatic transmissions around here, in theory, an automatic transmission should last several hundred thousand miles without problems.

It's the complete opposite here in Lithuania. People know how to drive stick and don't abuse it that much, probably because automatic is still sort of a luxury. And with automatic all you have to do is press both pedals at once.
