Which would be the better lens and are both compatible with my 6d

There are advantages to each. I chose the Sigma because of the Sigma Dock.

Both Tamron and Sigma make different versions of the same lens for different mounts. Make sure that you get a 150-600mm lens with the Canon EF mount, for full frame camera bodies. Either the Tamron or the Sigma will work just fine with a 6D.

And yet, in all of Japan they drive on the left. Go figure.

Actually a very good example. After one year in Japan, I drove on the left side at home for about five seconds before I realized that I wasn´t in Japan anymore.
I sold off my Tamron 200-500 and 28-75 due to the different zoom directions compared to my canon lenses. And of course due to the lack of IQ and AF speed compared to my Canon lenses.

I remember reading about it when Sweden switched to driving on the right. But I'm sure you're too young to have experienced that.

can you explain difference in zoom between canon and nikon

That refers to which direction you rotate the collar to increase the magnification (or zoom in on the target) I set does it (when looking from the viewfinder end by turning the collar clockwise, the other set turn counter clockwise.
