Run what you like.
I had bad experience with 3 on the tree shifters, but they were both Fords so that may have been most of the problem. Mom had a Chevy Biscayn that had a 3 on the tree, but I didn't know how to drive them. I did offer to start it for my Sister to drive to work, but didn't...
It comes down to what you want.
Personally, I do not like column shifts whether it is manual or automatic.
My Land Cruiser is getting a 5 on the floor and the last two 3500 Rams I have converted from column shift automatics to floor shift automatics.
