Personally, I would stick with manual, yes the clutch is suspect if you remap, however fairly inexpensive to repair, when compared to a DSG box repair.
DSG Mechatronics units seem to be an Achilles heel. Expensive to repair if it goes wrong, I do say if, however there are quite a few cases of problematic units.
If outside warranty, quite a big repair bill. Not scaremongering, just open and honest, do the searches.
This is all just my opinion based on reading quite a few threads, both on here and other forums. Pity really too, as the DSG seems to fit the bill for lots of people, and If i was after an auto box, and they could improve reliability issues, or give a more comprehensive warranty (ie US get 10 years I believe which is an indicator) I would consider it.
But I am happy with my manual.
IMHO.
Good luck in your search.
