@buzzbomb - Question for you. You said you fly minis, what connector style do your servos use?
Are they normal JR/Futaba style plugs? Or are they the 'micro' servo connector style like this:

If you are using standard JR/Futaba style servo connections, then
@ElectriSean has a good recommendation. The X6R is a simple 6-channel reciver. The RX6R is a slightly upgraded version, still supporting 6 channels but with enhanced range. typically there is a dollar difference in price.
IF your planes use the micro servo connector as pictured above, then your options from FrSky are significantly less. In fact you pretty much have only 1 option from FrSky at that point, the VD5M, but that's only a 5-channel receiver.
Now, if you use S.BUS then you are back to having a lot of options from FrSky for receivers.
