If I am running 6" of regular single carbide, should I get 6" dually runners? Or go down to 4" duallys since in theory there is actually 8" of carbide on a 4"dually. The sled is an SX-r 600 with 144 studs. I went to the Woodys website but didn't see a recomandation. Any thoughts?

I'd steer clear of them, literally. This design is heavy, won't help a darting situation, and quite expensive unfortunately.
If you're sled is darting, you need to read the write up in the Tech Page on darting. If you've got stock skis now, you can improve them alot by adjusting the Ski Runner Pressure and by adding a set of Ski Savers from www.bergstromskegs.com .
The SkiSavers will help take some of the nervousness away from the stock rocker skis, and help them carve much harder, protecting the keels the whole time.
The Dual runner all in one design has some flaws, and though we haven't seen any first hand reports of them yet, I'll make some predictions.
Michigan riders will have rocks wedged between the runners. The area between the runners will wear out before the bars do, if it's not caught before, it'll split in two creating a dangerous situation. On top of that, you've got the sleds weight on an area that's not supported by the ski bottom, since th wear bar is wider than the keel. Imagine jumping a snowbank and landing on hard ice...I see these things bending.
I could easily be wrong now, but that's how I see these things not being worth it. Take a good long look at them and make your own decisions. Good luck!
