I'm not Trevor, but this is my stance on A-Eon's decision for the PA6T over other CPUs back then, which according to Trevor was arrived at before Apple purchased P.A. Semi:
Bottom line: Between the three viable options there were at that time (PA6T, PPC970MP+CPC945, MPC8641D), the PA6T was certainly the most sensible choice. That's what I would have opted for as well.
