Thank you! We ran the 4wd for all PNW events, then swapped to 6wd at worlds. I can say with confidence that for 2014 (and 2013) we preferred the 4wd, 2omni, 2-tank. Friction pins were much less of an issue, and having the pivot point at the front (or rear) of the robot was nice. It does require a bit more driver skill when turning, but its easily learn-able in an hour or so of drive time.
Major downside was the limited traction when pushing, but you can adjust play-style to compensate.
