Re: wall thickness
Four inches of puffed insulation will probably be the same or better than six packed to four. By packing the insulation, you reduce the air gap between fibers. It's the air entrainment that gives fiberglass insulation it's properties.

Re: wall thickness
If you save a few bucks, I would. You don't gain by compressing the insulation. I have the specs somewhere on insulation factor loss by compression but I don't remember the %. That's why I said 6" compressed to 4" would be no better (maybe worse) than 4" insulation alone.

it would most definitely be a poorer insulate than un-compressed.
