Actually, I just remembered. 494 did this a few years ago...
Corner omnis. The idea is a 4WD with the traction wheels on, say, left front and right rear. The other slots are omnis. Apparently it works pretty well.
Omnidirectional drive is the holonomic/mecanum/crab/swerve drives. The best type depends on the game.
Mecanum: 4WD with specialized programming and each wheel independently powered. Oh, and mecanum wheels.
Omni: 3-6 omni wheels arranged so that you can slide. It's a little trickier than mecanum.
Crab/swerve: each wheel turns. 3-4 wheels.

I think both of you miss understood me but its my fault since I am not quite down with this 2WD, 6WD... etc... lingo.
The best setup I think of for a FRC bot is a 6 wheel tank style bot using omni wheels as casters on the outside wheels and traction wheels in the center. I would also make it so all wheels would be touching the ground.
Also I understand what omnidirectional is and the different types of it but I was asking what seems to work best in different situations.
