My preference is against true 6mm also. As stated, it takes up too much
room. 
As of late I have been going with the Battleforce 2 scale of 1 hex
equals 90 
meters. This works out really well since I use a lot of Micro Machine 
dropships(Aliens, Starship Troopers) for my DS's. The new DS's from IWM
also work well 
at this scale.
