Default Trans decision

Guys I need some help. I am putting a 5.3 into a 1996 S10. Im keeping the truck intake and everything. I plan to Cam it, port and polish heads, and n02. The problem is idk what trans to get since im running nos. I can get a th400 that's built for $400. And my friend said he would sell me his t56 out of an 02 trans am for $1000. Which would be better? Is manual hard to do with nos??

If you just want to be fast, then get an automatic. If you want to have fun driving, then get a 6 speed...Going faster with a manual is a lot harder.
