Using the hi-lo count method what is the most favorable BJ game (assume all factors such as penetration, bj payout, etc are favorable)? Single, Double, 6 Deck Shoe, More?
I prefer to play alone. Is it best to play head to head or two hands with Hi Lo?
What are thoughts on beginning a progression if the count is +5 or better?
Thanks in advance for your advice! :)

All else being equal, single deck is best. However, it is rare that all else is equal. If you have a choice among different games, pick the one with highest c-SCORE value. You can calculate c-SCORE here: http://www.qfit.com/cvcxonlineviewer.htm

Playing alone is good because you get more hands per hour, thereby increasing your win rate. Two hands are better, but, unless you reduce your bet size, you will increase your risk.

From a mathematical view, this makes no sense. Depending on the progression, you risk overbetting or underbetting your bankroll.
Thanks Panama! Guess I will lay off that quick ror with the big progression (It has been backfiring).

Under most configurations of single deck, you are better off playing only one hand. The most common exception is when heads-up play results in a miserable five rounds being dealt. Then you should play two hands to get four rounds to your two hands.
Your post above asks about Las Vegas, where playable single deck is all but extinct, so in your case this exception might be a moot point.
