Actually the best hand is v AA is AA which has 50% expectation, except in my local live game where I found the As duplicated, making AAs possible, imagine a 10 out flush draw!
The next best pair is 66, because 65432 board beats the wheel, and 5432A board busts set A's.
But the sooted connectors 87s..65s are slightly better I think, and will play better in FLHE, if not in NLHE, against pre-flop raiser in earlier position.

Don't really think so... KK wins on a KTTT6 board where 66 doesn't. Sets can be counterfed.

Fraid so, eat humble pie. The reason is that b'way str8 can beat your set, and trips on the board is much rarer than str8-ning cards.
