In running a glm analysis with multiple classes (A, B, C, D, E, F) and no 
variables, is it better to:

(1) have one fsgd with a contrast vector of (1 -1 0 0 0 0) to compare
Group A thickness to Group B thickness, or
(2) should I make an fsgd with just my Group A and B subjects and have my
contrast vector (1 -1)?

We ran both options to compare Group A and B as an example and the results
of each are extremely similar but there are some very minor differences in
the significance maps. We're wondering about the two methods because we
eventually want to compare every two-group pairing (A vs C, A vs D, E vs
F, etc.), and was wondering whether one method is more accurate or
preferred over the other when we try multiple group comparisons.

Also, could there be a randomizing effect that causes the slightly
different maps for our example?

Thanks.
David
