Best Form Of Six Wheel Drive?

I have been doing a bit of research on drive trains for next year I am currently leaning toward some form of six wheel drive. I have noticed numerous variations on the conventional six wheel drive. I have narrowed it down to:

A six wheel drive with two traction wheels in the center and 2 omnis in the front and back

A six wheel drive with a wider track at the center and an octagon shaped base(Haven't chosen wheels yet)

A six wheel drive with six traction wheels and a lot of power (to brute force the turns)

And A six wheel drive with the center wheel slightly lower than the others ( I personally dislike this design)

Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated.
