6WD flat has stability on its side. 6WD drop acts like a 4WD most of the time, but which end is the 4WD at any given time varies with robot motion. During a spin, or if the CG is somehow over the center wheels, it's common for it to act like a 2WD on the center wheels. The typical West Coast drivetrain is a 6WD drop.
The toughest part of designing a drop-center system is figuring out how far to drop the center. Depending on wheel choice, anywhere between 1/16" and about 1/4" has been used effectively.
