Looking for some opinions on lifting

Hey guys, thanks for stopping in and offering your insight.

So I just bought my new 2012 trd sport dbl cab lb and I'm looking into lifting it...as of now I'm leaning towards a 6". There is a lot of information out there and I was hoping some knowledgeable tacoma owners could shoot me some advice they've gained through experience. So mainly, what's the preferred lift type if I'm wanting 6", and only seldom go off road and just want it when I need it? I'm not going to be doing any rock crawling or jumping or any crazy shit, but I do want to be able to roll out through a rocky field or drive up the snow covered roads with ease. Any advice helps, and thanks in advance!!!
