The rubber duck supplied with the VX-7 does 6m.
Unless you find an H/T that does SSB (or you want to use AM), you don't have to worry about what polarization the other phone station is using: the other station will be using FM, and it will be vertical.
And while most serious 6m base stations will be multi-band/multi-mode, note that most 6m-only [mobile/]base rigs are FM-only.
I know the rubber duck is supposed to do 6m, but from what I have read, it is basically a dummy load. I have been looking at the drawings for building a 6m antenna that will be a little more suited for actually using the 6m function of the radio.
