Wire size

Wire of the same gauge as that you are replacing should be sufficient.

Hey there, not to worry. For the six feet you are running to the wall the original gauge will do (as it so far has done) fine. My gues is that teh original cord was 14 gauge stranded and that such a replacement would do you fine. No need to ask us, just take a section of your old cord and strip it apart/down and count the wires and note the colors and measure the wire gauge and be done with it.

Having said all that, LOWES and HD offer an "extension cord" intended for an Air Conditioner that is likely 10GA (chop off the female end) and may offer one or two that are 12GA and GOING DOWN never really hurt anyone, right?

BTW, If you go long, you must go down!

Did you happen to note the prices for the 500' rolls?

I believe pricing like that. It might be logical to you, but for the builder they buy the big roll and the small shop or electrician the small roll since it is likely plenty. Higher profit on the short - builder likes his/her price. The electrician buys from electric company or there - and passes on the cost as needed.
