The newer drainplug is the 13mm. The reason for the smaller size is to reduce the chance of overtightening, which could crack the crankcase. If you do your own oil changes and are careful not to overtorque, it really doesn't matter.
But if you frequent quickie oil change shops, I would stick with the 13mm.
A 6 sided socket or box end wrench will eliminate rounding.
