Default 3/6 vs 5/10

I'm sure, so sure, that this has been discussed to death. But searches yielded slim results because searching for terms "3/6 5/10" don't come up with much specific. If you would be so kind as to link some good discussion on this topic, otherwise respond here.

I'm about ready to move up from Party 3/6 6max to 5/10 6max, as the BR is closing in on 5k. I haven't taken one shot at 5/10 yet. Maybe I should and see what it's like for myself. I've read on here that 5/10 is almost the same game as 3/6. Can this be true? I've done well at 3/6 6max, but played only about 30k hands. Ran well, then hit a nasty downswing, and made most of it back by pounding on Stars 2/4 6max (which is a wonderful game, btw) and bonus clearing.

Anything to consider in general when playing 5/10 6max that you don't need to consider much for 3/6 6max? I'm assuming it's table selection, as there are probably more skilled players at 5/10, but enough of a fish population to keep it worthwhile.

My original plan was to go back to full ring once I hit 5/10, but I see the shorthanded games are much more profitable, albeit swingier. On the horizon is 10/20 6max, but I'm deathly afraid of that game. I play 10/20 and 15/30 live, and mostly that's no problem.
