It's a saying/idiom that means the two alternatives (or two choices) are pretty much the same thing or that it doesn't matter which one you choose.
The reason is because "a dozen" means 12 things. So "half a dozen" is 6 things. Saying "six of one, half a dozen of the other" both mean "6 things", even though they sound like two different options.
