For soy, like 464, I would start with cd12 or 14. Some FO may require cd16 or more.
 

Unless it is leaving 1/4” of hang up or more, do *not* judge final needs until at least the middle. Things heat up in tall glass as the air currents pick up during the second and third burns, so a lot of hang up melts right Off and things get HOT in the last 1/3.
if the inside dimension is wider than 3” it may be a candidate for double wicking. If at all possible I try to avoid that. 
 

I do not use 6006, but others, like @bfroberts May be able to chime in.

For 6006, I would test Eco 8 - 10, LX 20 - 22, or zinc 60z - 62z.  It will be easier to wick this jar with 464.

One of those wicks should work reasonably well.  You won't get a full melt pool on the first burn. You are going to have some hangup around the rim at first.  Did you burn your test candles all the way to the bottom of the container?  
Did you test 62z or LX 20 & 22?  Also, the candle needs to cure several days, ideally 2 weeks.  
I don't use 464 very much.  I would go with TallTayl's suggestion, CD wicks.

I cure my 464 two weeks, and I do the same with 60006 to be sure, how much FO do you use? I try all this wicks you mentioned, thank you so much.

I have used those jars in the past with 6006 and used a CD 8 for most fragrances.
