In principle, the 6x6 should offer more resolution than 35mm, but at least for
color work, the sharpest films available are only made in 35mm (read
Kodachrome 25).  This probably has at least twice the resolution of 
Ektachrome 100.  The 2 stop speed loss is compensated by the considerably
faster optics of the 35mm format (f1.4 vs. f2.8).

Therefore, I'd guess that in terms of resolution, the differences are probably
small.

For darkroom work, however, the 6x6 is better for contact prints and
general handling.
