Interestingly enough it requires more totes to execute a chokehold with stacks of 6 than stacks of 5.

Not really, as 5 stacks of 6 and one stack of 5, all capped, score the same as 7 stacks of 5, assuming "normal height" stacking. Both 35 totes, both 210 points. And assuming, of course, that you did get all four RCs onto your side.
