Tranny conversion

I have a 93 F150 with a mazada tranny and would like to covert to a auto. I have 2 in mind, the C6 or the AOD. What are the pro's and con's of these tranny's and would the swap be easy enough for me to do. What would be needed to make this work. Thank you

Go for the C6 or, if you can, a later E40D. Remember the C6 has no overdrive, and the E40D already has it and the later ('95-'96, I believe) ones hold up pretty good and are not known to have the problems the early E's did.
