Go with highest hole card. So you play 6 cards?

Nope. It's a push. The best 5-card hand wins. If the best 5-card hand is face-up on the table -- that's it. Split pot. That's a killer if you were leading in the hand, BTW.
If it were not a straight, straight flush, or full-house, then the kicker comes into play. Exceptions would be if your hole-card extends a straight to a higher card, or creates a straight-flush situation.
