It sounds like your type of driving is pretty easy on the brakes. The rotors should last for another 50,000 miles (unless they start to pulsate when you apply the brakes). The lines and calipers should be good for another 50,000 miles (unless they start sticking and not releasing).

At 50,000 miles you may wish to have a brake inspection place look at the pads and see how much is left. Many times they will do a brake inspection for free.

If the brake fluid has never been changed, it would be timely to do that soon.

As far as the brakes lasting longer on an AT vs a MT car, that would totally depend on how they were driven. If the two were driven the same way, I would think the MT car's brake pads would last a bit longer because many MT drivers use the engine to slow the car.
