In terms of resiliency point of view, RAID 6 (6D+2P) would be the best choice when compared with RAID6 (14D+2P), because 6D+2P can sustain 2 drives failure out of 8 drives, but with 14D +2P configuration, it can sustain only 2 drives failure out of 16 drive.
The rebuild time in RAID 6 (14D+2P) will take lesser time because the data parity will be distributed across all the drives & all the healthy drives will be used in the rebuild operation. So, If you have a higher number of drives in the parity group, the rebuild operation would be quicker.

Subject: RAID6(6D+2P) or RAID6(14D+2P) is best on VSP 5600?
Hi Team,
Is RAID6(6D+2P) or 14D+2P is best while considering rebuild and resiliency etc ? What is the rebuild time with 15TB nvme for both the RAID groups?
