For BG and LMB, a lot of folks get by just fine with using one size of mono for a leader/tippet. However, one size/level leaders don't transfer energy very well, so your fly turnover at the end of the cast might suffer. Personally, I like using a furled leader with some mono tied on for tippet.
With a 6wt setup, you probably want your tippet to be no heavier than about 10lb test or so. You want it heavy enough not to lose fish unnecessarily, but not so heavy that something else breaks instead of the tippet if you're hung up or on a big fish.
