Game play wise i prefer X. but, I HATE HATE HATE the characters in X and there were a few in VI I could dig. I also HATED X's story. Everything that had to do with writing in X just made me want to throw my PS2 out the window and was probably a HUGE factor in me shifting back to PC play. Everything Square made around that time is horrible imo so I went back to Diablo 2 and Counter Strike. From FFVII to X was the golden age of consoles in my life.
