I'm simply talking about driver skills, for everyday use. How it can save your life or your car. Kind of like the auto or manual transmission debate, I dont intend this to go in the direction of the "I'm better than you" mindset.
3 speed autos- best tranny for drag strip (imo)
6 speed manual-favored over an auto any day of the week in the twisties.

It's just like your example you brought up, it's just depends on what you need it for. Id rather have my fwd over rwd any day of the week if there's ice on the road. There also more forgiving than rwd if you make a mistake (again imo), but other than that they have no real advantage.
