A 6+6 notation can be used for any kind of scale, including diatonic ones. Just like a 7+5 notation can be used for non-diatonic scales.
A 6+6 system makes more sense in terms of fundamentals - there's the exact same distance between each "full" letter. That doesn't limit what kind of scales you can annotate with the letters at all.
