Do your means the a6100 is better than m6 ii from dpreview staff?

And Autofocus is more more important than body build quality, handling and controls ?

How to choose ?

You can look at their conclusions and decide what is most important for you. For the M6 Mark II here’s what they say:

What we like:

  • Very good image quality
  • Dual Pixel AF offers good focus speed and accuracy
  • Compact, yet plenty of controls
  • Fast burst shooting with continuous AF

What we don't:

  • Limited battery life
  • USB charging appears to demand PD-type adapters
  • 4K footage isn't very detailed

The first three positives I consider important for myself; the fourth one is occasionally interesting; as far as the negatives, the battery life seems much better in real life, and the other two i don’t care much about.

Yes, I got 4000 images from one battery charge in burst shooting. As for USB charging, yes, you need PD-type adapters, but they are available around $20 from Amazon. I use the one I got from Amazon for my iPad Pro. Works perfectly for both camera and iPad. 4K footage is more than detailed enough for me. Video is either viewed on phones/tablets close up, or big TVs at a distance. Either way, the supposed softness doesn't show up. Pixel-peeping screenshots from video is just plain stupid.

Agonizing over the fact that one DPR roundup put the M6II ahead of the 6100, and the other didn't is also really stupid.

maybe for you...

Probably it was just a matter of different staff members making the decision.
