Here's a tad bit concerning the gauges and a couple suggestions for the extra strings. I expect others just haven't noticed your topic yet and will, I'm sure, offer lots more. ;-) http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopi ... ght=string

There are one or two E9 12 string copedents sprinkled
about in this section too. http://b0b.com/wp/?page_id=201

I know John McClung and Jim Smith are D12 players among several others here.

I don't play much C6, but here is what I use and I like it (not re-entrant):
