Batteries again...6V vs 12V..??

Greetings folks,
Making the dangerous assumption that most if not all modern RVs use 12V systems, I am puzzled by the frequent discussions of 6V batteries. Question is; is there anything inherently better about using four 6V batteries in series-parallel over four 12V batteries all in parallel? My Merchant Marine background argues that with four 12V batteries you can lose one bad one and still have 75% of your 12V capacity. Lose one 6V battery and you are down to 50% capacity. That one still good 6Ver is useless without it's partner.
That as I see it is the bad side of using 6V batteries. Can someone please show me the good side of using the 6V batteries?
