I carry a 6" 686 while hunting and I can confirm that it can be a pain to carry.
I enjoy it doing it, but its a big gun and better suited to range and home defense. If you aren't going to carry often, get the 6". Daily carry? I'd opt for the 4".
Open carry generally is fine in the right environment but can also get you hassled. Keep that in mind.
