I reached out to MSFT contacts as well, and just received word back from them.
There are no LTO6 units that are certified with DPM. So, we're going with LTO5. We're getting a Quantum unit that has 25 slots, and because it's the end of the quarter, they're throwing in another 15 slot license for free. 40 slots is huge overkill for us, but it has two drives, which I require - I want to be able to do a restore while the backups are writing to tape, and if nothing else, it'll be faster than a single tape anyway...
