Do whatever makes you happy.
The main reason I converted was because I am often driving in remote areas where getting a 6 volt globe or coil is out of the question (forget a battery). 12 volt stuff is readily available though. If 6 volts stuff is available, a good system is OK but terminals need to be maintained. I'd use some dielectric grease on all of them.
