I was just looking at the datasheet for the regulator a little more. While the regulator can be used for a higher voltage than the IC's default output voltage, it'll be more stable at 5v. Really, if you want a different output, the adjustable version of the IC should be used. So, unless you absolutely need 6v, I'd just select the 5v setting. I think I'm going to mess with the feedback resistor to see if I can get a more solid 5v with a 3A load.
