Another newbie question. I am learning counting with a 6 deck shoe. At what count should I just walk away if it is to low? Should I wait for a number of decks to go through before I leave? Of course if I am winning I should count my lucky stars and accept winning at a bad count, which is better than losing at a good count!

See BJA3, Chapter 13, Part I, for an answer probably a lot more detailed than you'd care for! :-)

I would say -1 TC is a better choice.

It's not that simple. A shoe game with good rules, deep penetration, and a pit tolerant of big spreads may be a better game for an advantage player than a crowded single or double deck game with poor pen, restrictive rules, and a sweaty pit.
And of course, in many areas shoes are the only game that the casinos offer.
The off-the-top house advantage is only one aspect in evaluating a game, and not even the most important one to the card counter. SCORE is a much better way of comparing different games. It is explained in great detail in Blackjack Attack, Third Edition, by Don Schlesinger.
