It seems that jazz bass players are pretty happy with 4 strings. One big difference in sound is that jazz players often use "flat wound strings" instead of "round wound strings." This gives a warmer, smoother sound on the electric bass which is more comparable to the sound of a stand up bass.

I think it's the "feel" man. I'm not really sure. Test both of it first, whatever catches the "feel" go for that one. The only difference is you get higher octave notes for the 6 strings. So, I don't really know man. Hope that helped. :)
