6v or 12v?
All else being equal, which is preferable and why? 2 220 AH 6v batteries or 2 110 AH 12v batteries

I'd base my choice of batteries strictly on which one would allow me to stuff more AH's in the available space. There are more sizes of 12v batteries than just the group 27's you are comparing to. If you can fit 2 group 31's of the correct type, you could have more available AH's than the 2x6v.
:):)
Actually, you can find 6v in quite a few sizes. I built a little spreadsheet to help me narrow down the batteries I can fit in the battery box and I keep hitting upon the same choice, which is 2 12v or 2 6v with the same number of amp hours.
I also save a few bucks with the 6v, but not much.
Also, I'm looking at AGM, but that shouldn't factor into the 6 versus 12 question.
