I drive a manual transmission car and I find my mileage to be comparable if not lower to an automatic transmission car. While activating cruise control, my mileage rises by a few kms because of this I have always wondered which transmission for my next car would be the best, considering mileage to be an important factor.

A modern automatic transmission is going to be pretty much the same as a manual transmission driven by a competent driver. A modern continuously variable transmission (CVT) will perform better. Most electric cars have a single gear and are more efficient still.
Really, your mileage will ultimately be more dependent on how fast and aggressive you drive than anything else.
