Well, both work. on my laptop i also run a tunnel to hurricane electric, but 
at home i went for sixxs simply because HE has quite high roundtrip times for 
me as basically every packet goes through Canada, which maybe isn't tooo 
clever for nearly-local connections (from home (berlin, germany) to my server 
(also berlin, germany)). Probably won't matter for north america though. On 
the other hand, sixxs has PoPs all over europe and north america.
And: HE does - IIRC that is - only hand out dynamic IPv6 adresses from a pool 
as opposed to static ones from sixxs.

They do get along though, had both tunnels running simultaneously on a single 
machine.

And registration from first contact to working tunnel wasn't that much slower 
with sixxs, two days in all IIRC. Probably depends on weather, workload, time 
of day and amount of coffee they had ;-)

Greets,
