The argument pretty much boils down to who the drivers are and what they do. Certain 6WD teams will destroy certain mecanum teams, but certain mecanum teams will run circles around certain 6WD teams. It all depends on the team, the strategy, and the execution. The wheels themselves are unimportant.

Well, there is "a 6wd", and then a 6wd with high traction wheels, 4 CIMs, and shifting.

One of them is anywhere from mediocre to good, the other is great. The great one will beat a mecanum any day of the week.
