Personally, I'd choose raid6 over raid10 in most setups unless I How do you figure that? Sure, raid6 is going to use more CPU time but that isn't going to be a bottleneck unless you are using some blazing fast NVME drives. Certainly with HDD the rebuild time is simply how long it takes to write all of the data to the new disk, so it's going to be the same either way.
