As you say, you can develop on newest and set old deployment target. But when you run into a bug that only reproduces on 10.6, what then? The nicest is to build & debug on 10.6 so you can debug it. This means being able to use the (newest) Xcode that supports that OS. Again, I don't care about 10.6 per se, but substitute 10.x for whatever the oldest you care about is, and the above still applies.
