The 5-spd's are VERY stout transmissions.
The auto's can be very stout as well, as long as they're taken care of fluid replenishing wise, and not abused.
Either tranny is no less reliable then any dodge/ford, etc.

Per my Haynes manual for 1989 - 1997 Rodeo's/Amigo's, it specifies for the following 5-spd transmissions:
MUA & MSG models - Engine oil
BW models - Dexron II or Dexron III auto tranny fluid
Hopefully others WITH 5-spds can chip in here for ideas on what they use, both my rodeo's were/are auto's.
