I don't have much experience with different formats, but I suggest that you play whatever format you want and stick to it until you get to a limit where traffic is not so good 
I'm pretty sure I'm way better in 9max than in 6max and 18ppl SnGs but it's better to have a few 6maxes running than just sitting with less tables, as my ROI is likely positive on those as well.
6max requires a lot more postflop skills, so I'd advice against it if you are a relatively new player. If you were coming from SHCG I'd say you have a big edge in the early stage of a 6max even on the better STT regs.
About the downswing? Well, not much you can do. It must be disappointing that I will come up with a lot of clichés but you need to stick to your BRM, mark all hands that you aren't 100% sure of, sometimes even mark hands that you are 100% sure of just to be double sure and weigh your poker-time towards learning instead of playing.
Learning is just as important as playing, learning increases your knowledge therefore boosts your ROI, so you actually get paid for it later.
Also, I'd suggest playing in sets instead of continous play and keeping a break after every set. Review hands. If it is 1h poker 1h reviews, so be it, it will make your game much more solid.
Also, you probably should decrease table number, depends on how much you play. You need to be there 100% on all tables, get notes on regs even when you aren't playing, and stuff like this. You WILL get a higher ROI when playing less tables, no matter how good you are, and though your $/hr will decrease on the short run, your higher ROI will give you bigger winnings/smaller falls and should harden your mental mindset.
And keep reviewing your game, keep reading hands that others post (can be old, already evaluated ones), read them carefully and see if there is anything you don't know. It is useful when you evaluate the hand first and read the professional response or the other players' responses after, it will highlight what you think differently and you can find your leaks (I'm sure you have many, all poker players have leaks, so even if you are playing your A++ game you've got a lot to improve).
Hope that was useful.
Cheers!
