Which tranny would be best for 600+ rwhp?

Well im just throwing around ideas but im thinking of going forced induction and obvisouly i would have to build up the tranny or swap another one in so i was wondering which route would be the best way to go. Im guessing that a manual would be able to take a lot more power than an auto but that might not be true. I dont really know much when it comes to trannys so any help would be appreciated. Someone was telling me that the TH400 might be a good choice but i dont know. Thanks.
