12pt is the way to go with these because they excel in tight situations. 6pt only would limit your range of motion and breaking bolts really shouldn't be done with a ratchet if you want them to last

That is not correct. 5/8" is only 15.875 mm, too small to fit a 16 mm bolt. Maybe if you had a bad quality 5/8" with loose tolerances it may be big enough to fit, but will not work well and will...

16mm is .630". A 5/8 (.625") SAE wrench would have more than enough plus tolerance to fit a 16mm bolt head.

I'm no mechanic, but as far as I've heard, it's easier to strip a bolt using 12 point wrenches/sockets. On the other hand, I think 12 point can give you a better grip?

I should have worded my reply differently. Basically, use the correct size wrench for the application. Use metric for metric and SAE for standard.
