6x8 is the most common, the 8v have either 170 amps or 190 the 190's will go further but cost more.
8x6 will have more amps each about 225 amps but you are carrying more weight maybe 150lbs, the weight can also cut your range.
That setup has reported about 10 extra miles in range, most carts need to modified to fit them.
4x12 is saving weight the amps are about 90. Cart makers tried that setup but went back to 6x8.

Now gel are better but perhaps double in price.

LIPO batteries are far superior but now the cost is too high about $2,000
In the future that price will come down???

The majority of carts are using 6x8v
