Question 5 lug or 6 lug

I've finally got enough cash together to buy a disk brake kit for my 67, but can't decide whether to go with the 5 lug or 6 lug set up. I would like to stick with the 6 lug to match the rear, but am afraid that in the future when I need replacement rotors I'll need to order from someone who distributes the 6 lug rotor instead of just running to the local parts house. What do you guys/gals think?

Five lug does have a lot of options for rims, however 6 lugs are become more popular and seems that they are coming out with more and more styles of rims for the 6 lug.

My local parts store carries the 6 lug rotors in stock so its not a matter of having to order them.

I prefer the 5 lugs, mainly because most of what I have is the same bolt pattern.

The tech guy at Early Classic told me that the 6 lug rotors were special made for ECE, that they were not a stock rotor for any application.
