A 6d is 2" which will be ~1.25" penetration of stud w/ 1/2" substrate.
3" screw is overkill fer shure...nails or screws?

Nailing may save time during install but how much time will you spend hammering nails down that work their way out over the years? In places like Sacramento, CA where Summers ca be 110+ in the day and 57 degrees at night the nails tend to work their way out from the siding expanding and contracting. I've never seen a screw back out like nails do.
