6.1 is great. Even on 5.1 soundtracks, the extra rear channel fills the rear space better. (You can force it into 6-channel mode even on 5.1 soundtracks). Plus you can use it for all-channel music or DTS Neo (whoa) surround modes.
Just one minor point though, there is no "7.1" format.. yet. Some people use 2 surround-back speakers, and use a receiver with 7 amps to power them, sometimes called a "7.1" receiver.. but there are only 6 seperate channels, so those 2 speakers operate in mono, basically.
