Re: 6-max PLO preflop starting requirements.
You could happily play almost all of these hands. I'd be folding stuff like 5567 and 887J UTG and UTG+1 but opening with them elsewhere. 79TQ is an opening hand from anywhere, sometimes even the blinds depending on how frisky I'm feeling and who I'm up against.
Co-ordinated jacks and queens are often worth.
A couple of things: suits are important. A lot more double-suited hands can be opened with than single-suited, and relatively few non-suited hands should be opened. Position is as you've mentioned very important as well; recently I've been taking to limping utter garbage on the button behind limpers. No harm in raising light on your button behind a few limpers as well.
It should be noted, though, that I'm pretty laggy. If you want to stick to tag, just cut down the number of hands you limp and/or raise. But please, don't openlimp the button or cut-off.
