Generally speaking the lower the charge rate the better it is for the battery. Imagine the reverse, the harder you discharge it the more damage you do. I have mine on charge all the time with a CTEK 3300 intelligent charger, summer and winter.
If you need your battery in a hurry from time to time 6amps will not do any real damage but think about the CTEK sometimes on sale at Canadian Tire for about $50.

6a is a medium charge and 2a is a trickle (i am sure you already know that) from my experience i trickle my battery now reason being last year i thought i would speed up my deep cell charge and put it up to a higher setting. When i got ready to go in the morning my battery was boiling and needless to say i was a little panicky.I just trickle it for 24 hours but this year i think i will bite the bullit and buy a charger that is smarter than i am.lol

I think the winter cabin fever has just caused senility in you guys. We just discussed this ad nauseum here:
