18 speed or 13 speed?

The 18 speed has 5 additional lower gears (below ~30-40 MPH) and longer final ratio, if you play with a sequential manual a 13 speed is more practical vs an 18 for going through gears while an 18 has additional engine control at lower speeds, suitable for heavy cargo in hilly areas.  The 10 speed (non-allison,) although more useful for basic long range hauling, has a short final ratio, esp outside California.

I use an H-shifter, so this works well for me. 

I tend to use 18-speed transmissions.  However, most of the time, I treat it like a 13-speed transmission.  I only actually split-shift the lower range when vehicle weight and road grades require it.

This strategy may not work as well for players that use sequential shifting, however...
