I think the more appropriate question you should ask is "what heads would help me attain the goal that I'm searching for on the budget that I have."

How much are you willing to spend?? CNC'd LS6 heads are going for $1000-1200 while aftermarket heads are more in the $2000 range.

What are your goals?? Do you want every last HP and Ft/Lb you can get or are you willing to sacrifice some??

FWIW if you want the LS6's the TSP PRC budget CNC'd heads are doing VERY well. Otherwise, with the aftermarket castings, the AFR 205's are a consistent performer.

I went with Dart 205s for the price. If you are staying below 400 CID then I recommend some 205s if you are planning a 400+ CID engine then go with some 225s. I personally gained 28 rwhp and 15 rwtq with the Dart 205s over my stock LS6 heads.
