I am thinking about trying some 6mm WWII gaming and wondered what people are using. I know Flames of War is being used a lot for 15mm gaming but would it translate to 6mm or are there better rules. I would like to use armor, tanks, infantry but not sure about air yet. TIA!

Depends upon the level you want to operate your games at. My preference is to operate at that regiment/brigade level, and I really enjoy putting together a plan that allows for the use of div support weapons. Consequently my preferred rules set is Spearhead. Works really well for 6mm, although I have also been trialing it with 20mm. Not quite as good, but still not bad.
If you want to play games pitched a lower level of organisation, then I can't comment.

I use Blitzkrieg Commander for 10mil and have played it with 15s and it plays very well. I see no reason that it couldn't be used for 6mil, in fact I think it would play very well.
