Illinois seems to be the poster child for unfunded public pensions but PA is trying like hell to catch up. Everyone wants a ride but no one wants to pay!

I would of ran a bigger pipe myself,but if that's what you've got to work with I guess your stuck with it.
Thhn/thwn would be a hell of a lot easier to pull in,either way I'd soap the hell out of the wire and make sure to make sure the guy pushing keeps up.
You might want to swap the lb for a j box to male things easier also.

Another vote this way/

I can tell you from personal experience, you 'can' pull 3 #6's and a #10 bare copper wire in 3/4"...but it won't be easy.

I would really rethink the UF. If you can't afford the copper for that short of a distance, then you are shooting yourself in the foot and wasting money.

If you go your original plan, should you decide later to upgrade...the wire you had will be a waste.

Do it right up front....

Is 8 a normal step down from down....

Generally, if I'm going from 10, next size up for me is 6.
Granted, when DIY, the cost is really in the labor in the pulling, not the short run of material...
