SeedXOR would be just fine with 12 words as I understand it, but seed splitting (a non-recommended but somtimes used backup approach) would definitely benefit from 24 word seeds.

But definitely don't recommend seed splitting, and SeedXOR is almost always a bad idea as well as it multiplies the single points of failure (if you lose any part of the XOR'd seed you lose all funds).

I would guess 24 words would make more sense although I don't know how easy it is to brute-force 6 words and its order. So let's say one part has been discovered, I would be more confident it the other part total was 12 words instead of 6.

That being said I use multisig so I don't have one but multiple seeds. Also thank you for the article it was insightful.
