I would go for an auto for towing, had two, both DSG type, a C4 Grand Picasso and now a Seat Alhambra. The Citroen was not that smooth, drove ok with the paddles when not towing, but the auto was not smooth solo, preferred it in auto for towing but was still not over smooth even though we were towing a Folding Camper, not a 'van. Moving off was not smooth, could be jumpy (like when a thrust bearing is going). However the Alhambra DSG box (VW like the Skoda) is fantastic, it is smooth solo or towing.
So as Peaugeot and Citroen come from the same stable as each other, I would avoid, but Seat / VW / Skoda DSG box I would recomend. Sorry my only experience of Vauxhall was a hire car for a week about 10 years ago, which broke down, and a Chevette which I hated, so cant advise on the insignia.
