ARP head bolts.. 12 pt or 6 pt?

I see alot of posts recommending the 12 bolt part #.. but why?

I've personally never liked 12 point bolts and found they slip to easy...

I'm leaning towards the 6 point ARP's.. unless there's a reason not to? Please advise!

I like the 12points, personally. However, I'm using the hex heads. Doesn't really matter.

Get the allen key studs with 12pt sockets if you can swing it.

12 points are easier to get a socket on in the areas where the springs make it a tight fit.
