Automatic transmissions are boring, give you less control, worse gas mileage, are more expensive, and are overall worthless in a sports car IMO.
the only downside to a manual is that they can be slightly annoying in very heavy traffic, but the benefits far far outweigh that small drawback.
Stick is the only way to go in a car like that.

Some people cannot shift for them selfs. I for one will suffer 6 gears in heavy traffic with out complaint. Because downshifting for a turn and heel and toe the throttle to set the chassis in a long turn at very high speed requires the control of being directly connected to the engine with the rear axle.
I never feel as if i am in full command of a car that wants the next higher gear when I want the revolutions for maxium power. And automatic trans cars wear out brakes faster.

Depends on how good you are at driving a manual. The 350Z clutch is really touchy. At least mine is.

You're not buying a 350 for a commuter, you're buying it as a sports car. Thus, Manual=win; Automatic=EPIC FAIL.
