6WD Pros and Cons

Could anyone with experiance with both of the following 6WD systems please describe some of the pros and cons of each?

1) Center lowered "rocker style" with all 6 traction type wheels

2) All 6 wheels level but with omni wheels on one or both ends.

I am not looking for a cut and dry answer as to which is "better". I am looking more for pros and cons of each to make a more informed decision when the time comes (January 5th). Assuming we could build either just as easily I am trying to figure out why we would choose one or the other. The sort of knowledge that only can come from teams that have tried both options.
