Three of each.

If six was nine, I wouldn't mind.

I prefer my version of the aphorism: Half of one, six dozen of the other.

When I say it, most people don't realize what I've said.

and here I thought I was the only one

I've been saying that for years onstage ... and yeah, it usually slips right by most people

Since it's possible the the other is > 1, it seems like the better bet.

I had to pick Six Of One because it's the name of a great Battlestar Galactica episode, actually.

I've always heard it as:

Six IN one, half-dozen IN the other.

Said with a hand weighing motion (both hands out, like a balance scale)

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

That's a new half of one on me.

I usually say some variant of, "Half-dozen of one, seven of the other" and see if anyone notices. (The point being that there might be a difference, but it's small in the larger scheme of things.)

"Six Of One" is the name of the fan club for "The Prisoner"

Six of One must be a Borg who has a problem with fractions. Or somebody using that Fifth Third Bank.
