It's the offseason. If you can't decide based on some other parameters, play a couple games of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock to pick one, and put the other one on the list for next offseason.

There is a few reason why I am leaning towards a square 6 wheel WCD. Our driver has experience driving a long configuration for a whole season so I want them to drive something different to see how this configuration handle. I don't know it it matters: all the Einstein drivetrain this year were square drive including the poofs.
Once we have some experience building this chassis I don't think it'll be difficult for us to build a long configuration.
I'll be using the vex versachassis and 3 cim two speed ball shifter gear box.
I do like the suggestion of building a chassis that has the same dimension as our competition bot and put this year superstructure on it.
Keep in mind that words can be harsh and people do not forget what is said against them. Please, for your teammates sake, keep your egos in check and try to use some tact and consideration.
