Wrench set question

I'm about to buy a set of combination wrenches. Should I get 6 pt or 12 pt?

get 6 point. with 12 point you run a higher risk of stripping bolts.

The benefit to getting 12pt box wrench ends is that it's easier to work in tighter spaces b/c you don't always have to ratchet back a whole 1/6 of a turn to reseat the wrench.
