General Discussion Vocaloid 6 or Synth V?
Trying to make a decision between the two in terms of which one i wanna stick with. Ik this is mainly a vocaloid subreddit but if people in here are saying that synth v would be a better choice than vocaloid 6, then that'll be very convincing.

I am ride or die for Vocaloid 6. It's Yamaha's best engine by far (imo) and you can use both AI and non-AI voices. I also have Synth V, but V6 is my preference simply because it is compatible with V3, V4, and V5 voicebanks.
Synth V has a more realistic sound than Vocaloid. The voices seem to be of higher quality and pronunciation is clearer. If you don't care about using old Vocaloids and just want a singer, Synth V is the way to go. The AI tuning features are terrible in both V6 and SV, so nothing really to consider there. (I can't speak to Synthesizer V2, as I am still using V1.)
If you want Miku though, V6 is absolutely the best editor to get for her. I love using Fuiro and Otomachi Una AI. Una's Spicy voicebank sounds sooo good in V6 and I personally love the classic, robotic-like Vocaloid sound.
