Wouldn’t heavier weights of 4x6 be more towards strength gains than size gains? My main lifts are all done 5x5 except the deadlift (2x5).
Why not use both.
I wouldn’t use 4x6 for your assistance work. Get your strength work from your main lifts, use the assistance to build up some muscle.
Anywhere from 8-15 reps should be fine. It doesn’t matter if it’s 3x8, 4x10, 3x12, etc.
As long as the big lifts are going up its not that big a deal, saying that 5x10 is good or even the occasional sets of 20 or 10x10 for stubborn body parts
Sets of 3-5 if you want to get strong and big, sets of 15-20 if you want to cut up. Just kidding, it’s assistance, make progress in the BB lifts.

This.
3-5 sets x 8-12 reps for a few exercises . It’s a big range because, in the long run, it’s not the most important thing to worry about.
Now please, hurrdurr, stop tripping over small details like this stuff.
