Fruit uses the 16x12 board. Although this structure is not very popular, it can be seen as simply combining 10x12 (mailbox) with 16x8 (0x88).
0x88 was picked in Fruit because of the small memory requirements of vector calculations (much smaller tables). It is possible that Fruit uses bitboards for pawns in the future.
