The ii6chord looks, sounds, and acts almost exactly like the IV chord: both have 4 ^in the bass, both contain 6 in an upper voice, and both progress to V.

Many times the notes of the triad will change voices, making the repeated chord more interesting. In minor triads, there are not as many acoustical issues to worry about between the notes, so the third can be a very good note to double, especially in a major key, where the thirds of the minor triads are the primary tones of the scale.

Regarding doubling of tones in inverted chords I like Walter Piston's rule of thumb: double the tonal degrees for inverted chords.
