My list:

• Will it bend? – despite all the hype about bend-gate, when Consumer Reports actually did some measurements, they found that the 6 Plus is actually less bend-prone than the 6.
• More screen real estate – I've owned a succession of tablets because a 4 to 5 inch screen just isn’t big enough. 5 to 6 inch just might be.
• I have big hands – more comfortable with a bigger phone. Bigger fingers are less precise for touch screen use, so I use a stylus. For this reason, two-handed phone use is not a barrier for me. Also, on a bigger screen, all other things being equal, all of the touch-targets are bigger, so, paradoxically, I may actually be able to go to one-handed use with a bigger phone.

But … the iPhone 6 is outselling the 6 Plus 3 to 1:
