Automatic is more convenient - although I'm one of those in the minority that prefers a manual truer. It really does come down to preference.

I'm in the same boat as op and with a new hobby shop starting an on road program, I thought I jump back in.
I went with the Turnigy Trackstar 1s from HobbyKing. Just waiting on the program card from the overseas warehouse.
Just bought new foam tires yesterday at hobby shop, what size do I cut them down to? I still have my old automatic truer so at least I'm ok not having to rebuy that piece of equipment.
Last time I was into onroad, touring cars were still on foams, 6 cell NiMHs were being used and we were cutting coms, lol!

I got back into racing last year as well after a 6 year break. I started with some hobby king stuff to get me going as well. Been getting stuff as I can afford it, got a used hudy auto truer and its worth the $$ very nice. For starting tire sizes on low-med bite tracks at the club level I go with 42mm front and 43mm rear and high bite I go 41.5mm front 42.5mm rear those seem to be a good starting point. There's lots of info in the 1/12 fourm also check the sig in redbullfixx as Dave has put lots of good information together for us racers

Assume low grip for a brand new track surface; once cars start "traction rolling" in corners, the track condition would generally be considered "mid-grip". High grip is achieved with a large number of entries and a lot of track time logged by the participants, making a true "high grip" situation a fairly rare occurrence.
