Hi,
I prefer 12 volt jars as they best match my needs. However, redundancy is about number 2700 down my list of why.
Choose the right 12 volt battery and you may end up with MORE amp-hours than the rating on a 6 volt golf cart jar.
Twin 12 volt batteries are better at heavy load than series 6 volt batteries.

One more thing comes to mind. If you're only going to use 2 6V batteries connected in series to get the 12V to power your systems, keep in mind that if one cell in either battery fails, it takes the whole battery bank down. There is no redundancy, like there is if you use 2 12V batteries in parallel. You might sacrifice some aH going with 2 12V batteries, but if one cell fails in one battery, you may still have one working. Food for thought?
