Mine is a 4 bike and I always strap all the wheels to each other. Never had a bounce, as they have Velcro straps around the frame of the bikes. Good luck!

I know all the don'ts and I titled this bike HITCH rack. Do you have one you like and recommend even if it's only a 4? Are some better than others? I want something very secure.

6 bike racks do exist, but you are not likely to find anyone with any real life experience with them as they are relatively new to market and quite rare. As for 4 bike racks, my preference is with the "platform" style racks...easier to load, less movement while on the road, but more expensive than the hanging style racks.
A few of the better ones are (in no particular order)...
Thule T2
Kuat NV
Saris CycleOn Pro
Yakima HoldUp
1UpUSA

I use a hanging type rack, with several bungee cords to keep them from bouncing around
