Personally I'd be more inclined to use a tiny amount of expoxy even though I have lots of CA (AKA Super Glue) on hand. Fewer risks & a better long term track record. If a drop of CA gets into the wrong place bad things will happen. If I were going to use it I'd be very sparing & invert the camera so that any excess runs away from the body.
Epoxy is good when you need a bit of bulk to hold things together. (I used it to very good advantage many years ago to repair a broken cable release,) But my understanding of the 6D problem is that what falls off is the thin metal plate with the markings on it. Cyanoacrylate glue should be fine for that, since you don't really want to add bulk. But if it runs at all after you push the piece back on, you've used too much. If it's the whole knob that falls off, then yes, you might need to use epoxy (though I think I'd be inclined not to attempt that repair myself).
Re lens pouches I've used LowePro for a very long time & think they are a good value for the protection they offer. Last year I decided to order a full set of new ones for all the lenses I have & used their "bag finder" software & stupidly followed their recommendations. Several pouches were too big or 2 small relative to the lenses the software said fit, & that's with or without the hoods. I wrote them & they said they would make corrections but I haven't verified that they did SO I recommend measuring for yourself & picking by size.
B&H sells "Pearstone" cases (a house brand of theirs, I guess) that are fairly beefy and have worked well for me. But I've also come to like the Canon pouches for some applications. You wouldn't want to hang one on your belt, but they don't take up much space (or add much weight) in a bag.
