I would rather call a raise with 5-6 suited than with AJo, KQo, KJo, QJo, etc. With 5-6, you can make many straights, flop a flush, flop a straight, flush, or multi-draw/pair and a draw (and if you're HU and drawing at a flush, you usually don't have to worry about being up against a higher flush draw), and flop sneaky two pair or trips. With the other big offsuit connectors, you can flop a top pair hand that's going to get you into trouble more often than it's worth, a broadway straight, or obvious two pair or trips. The low suited connectors and 1 gappers give you good implied odds, whereas the offsuit "trouble hands" are dangerous due to reverse implied odds.
