Best Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony Recording

You haven't lived if you haven't heard the Currentzis, but I wouldn't want to have it as my sole or "canonical" representation of the symphony.

The Mravinsky with Leningrad Philharmonic on DGG 1960 is unsurpassed as a performance, no question about it. But the recording quality is somewhat crude.
The Giulini with the Philharmonia Orchestra on UK columbia is from the same period, but with much better sound and also a magnificent performance. A more 'modern' recording (around 1980, still analog) I can recommend is Ashkenazy (on Decca, also the Philharmonia).

+1 for the Pierre Monteux/Boston Symphony on Living Stereo.
But will give the Mravinsky a listen!

I remember the Mravinsky 4,5 and 6 sounding much better on LP.
I recently streamed them and was surprised at how grainy they sounded.
But, I do think they are one of the better versions performance-wise.
