Yes. SSD is always the way to go. A DV6 will be Sata interface, so something like a Samsung 860 EVO, or Crucial MX500 would be ideal.

SSD always.

Far better than a mechanical drive, much faster and less susceptible to bump damage.

100%. The only mechanical harddrive we have left in our house is in a wee NUC that we have connected to our security camera on the front of the house. I'm sure I will get around to changing that to SSD at some point too (maybe!).

Yes to SSD. Note that it does not need to be the same size. If you don't save much on the computer you could get a smaller size and save a bit of money
