6-9 would definetley be better for prone shooting. I personally think that swivel is a good thing.

I went with the 9-13, then returned it for the 6-9 swivel. You can always make the 6-9 taller, but you can't make the 9-13 shorter.

I'm partial to the 9-13 fixed. Run it at about 10" for shooting prone.

bipod length is a personal choice - part of it is gonna involve how long are your arms? and how deep of a V you make with them when shooting prone.
'course, whether or not you want to use 30 round mags while prone might factor into it as well. |

As a hunter I have never wanted mine shorter then 9". I have wanted it taller due to ground contour or grass. The swivel is a must for me. If you have to move a bit to get your shot you cannot necessarily readjust the leg length to fit the new spot. That is based on my real experience, not hypothetical.
ETA: I'm skinny so am low to the ground |

I use both, and prefer the fixed with notched legs. If your shooting down an incline, or have a fat gut, the 9-13" works better.

If you have the swivel, get the podlock, they are great

I choose 9-13 because of grass and stuff on the ground in front of me

I find on the AR chassis the 6-9 is perfect by the time you figure in the mount which adds a little.Get the swivel,it's easier then F'ing around trying to adjust the legs the right height.

6-9" is great for low grass prone or bench even with a 30 round mag. If you want to shoot in deeper grass I think you need a different bipod than a Harris anyway... something that has better feet for outdoor terrain and traverse capability.
