I owned two Accords before: a 2008 Coupe V6 auto(first car, long since sold) and a 2008 Sedan I4 manual(winter car in Alberta, flood totaled recently).
Personally, I would just go with the less powerful one. The V6 had a lot of trouble with traction at low speeds if you are just a little too heavy on the gas. The extra power is just really good for passing on highways IMO. The I4 is more economical and has enough power to get me to places. If I want something more powerful, RWD w/LSD please and thank you. I want to actually be able to put the power down.

Honda manual transmissions IMO are pretty meh nowadays. I played around with the manual trans in a 18 Golf and a 16 Elantra and both are better than the new Civics I tried. Both have more clear patterns and feel more satisfying than the Civic.
Honda started using CVT on the Accord since 13 and it seems like they are holding up well, so I wouldn't lose sleep over reliability like I would do with a Nissan CVT.
