The 6mm AI Forster dies were the second tier of pricing, not sure about the 6-06. The 06 brass is more plentiful and cheaper than the 6mm. No fire forming is needed for the 6-06, except that I think all cartridges need fire forming to fit the chamber, it is not required though. The 6MM AI you will rarely have to trim them.
I have not loaded for the others but the 6mm AI , 240 Weatherby, 6-284, & 6-06 are all in the same general velocity range +/- 100-150 fps based on pressure tested loads.
The smaller the capacity the longer the barrel life in some cases double from best to worst.
