I'd definitely say duodecimal.  Duodecimal is a better base than decimal
in my book - if only we had a duodecimal system this whole debate would
be null.  We'd have the advantages of easy multiplication inherent in
the metric system with the divisibility of the duodecimal.

IMHO, as far as time goes, the ease of divisibility is a far more
important quality than ease of multiplication.
