From my experience the SMG I in E46 M3 was a dog in automatic mode. But in manual it was great. The SMG II that I drove many times in M5 was much better in automatic mode and even better in manual mode. But DCT seems to be even more smoother and faster then the SMG II.
At the end of the day if I did not have to worry about the wifey......6-speed all the way.
