OP, if you are looking at automatics, I would give you a caution. The V6 automatics from that generation (and the previous generation) were not really up to the task of handling the V6. Though they are clairvoyant, smooth, and quiet autos when they are working, my first failed after only 65,000 miles (replaced under warranty). The service internal for fluid changes is 120,000 miles, yet it barely lasted half that long. This problem extended to nearly every V6 car Honda made for a while, though things have improved with the latest cars due to a better design. Anyway, I'd really recommend the 6-speed manual if you're looking at 2006 V6 models. If I had to go back, that's what I would have bought instead of the auto. For the 4-cylinder, the auto will be just fine if that's what you want.
