If you are talking about standard transmissions, they used the New Venture six speed until midway through 05 if I remember right. After that they switched to the G56 which I think might be built by Mercedes, but I'm not sure. It's hard to say which is better. I think the G56 has a more "sporty" feel when shifting. The New Venture has a better 6th gear ratio for highway driving. However, in 07 they changed the G56 6th gear to almost match the NV ratio. If you are talking about automatics... I have no clue!
