I've got one on my cheapie WSI bargain dish, and it works. I think that a 24" actuator on a 6 foot dish has a lot of headroom, so you should be just fine with one. 
The problem is not the headroom , the problem is the quality , if it is manufactured by the same company as the one I had that broke out of the blue in 16 months , made by MOTECK , QARL 3636 , """heavy duty""" then do not even bother, get yourself a used american made Von Weisse or the likes , do some maintenance and you are good to go for years to come. Forgot to mention the MOTECK factory did not even properly replied to one of the local dealers that carries the same product here in Canada.
You can still find a Venture brand actuator. They are made in the USA. You can get a 18" Mini-T for around $70 that would be great for a 6' dish. I think a 24" would be overkill for a 6 footer, but you can get a 24" Venture Maxi for about $150.
I contacted them and they never emailed me back. : / They need a way to just order it from their web site instead of me having to call them. : /
You can order from www.primefocusantenna.com
They are the retail division of Volunteer Satellite Dist. out of Columbia, Tenn.

I agree with Bobvic, for me an 18" is good enough. My Spanish is poor, so I am only interested in English speaking Sats, but if you speak Spanish, then why not get a 24" it will give you more Sats
Thanks. I think I have an 18 inch now. Most of my arc is covered with trees so I don't really need a bigger one. I wish I could get the other ones I can't understand half the channels I get now but its fun to watch what other countries watch. I haven't seen anything better than what we have in the USA or Canada.
