In your local, heating conditions take precedent over cooling.... Vapor barrier would go to warm inside face. Will 6" of your insulation put it up tight to the metal? Would be nice to to have an air gap to allow insulation to dry outwards.

This. Up north, vapor barrier to the inside.

They make insulation specifically for pole barns. The facing is plastic instead of paper.
