It really depends on your mods and what u want out of your car.You being a 6speed you might wanna consider waiting on gears till u have enough money for a 12 bolt or 9inch rear end.But when u do decide on which ratio Most A4 go with 3:73s and 6speeds go with 4:10s If I were u Id go with 4:10s.I gained 3mph and 2tenths in the 1/4mile after my gear swap(A43:73s).

i used to have 4:11's in mine but couldn't stop the gear whine so went back to stock. i liked em but consider your first gear useless, it will just burn the tires off the car. it pulled pretty hard but i wouldn't recommend em unless you do the track thing a lot and are set up to stick to the ground. i'm gonna go with 3:90's here soon. i think they will be the perfect ratio for a mainly street driven car.

3:90 9" moser is what I put in my A4, I think you may be happier with 4:10's in M6. Just set the rear end up right and get you some sticky tires.
