Pros/cons of each?

The rule of thumb is 8 - 6 volts is the best. More batteries means more stamina. Not sure why. I have 7 6 volt batteries for a total of 42 volts and they can last longer than my butt cheeks can last. I can go approx 50 miles on a charge before I get to the 80 % gone area. I have been told not to go below that 80% gone charge as it is hard on the batteries.
