Think of things in more atomic terms than 'drivetrains' and you'll be much better at understanding why teams have arrived at certain styles of drives and what the trade-offs were that led them there.

There's nothing intrinsically good about 6WD or swerve or anything else; good implementations are the result of well-considered details.
