Default Direct connect 6 meter beam

I see all kinds of crazy matching sections in posts about 6 meter
beams. How about direct connect. I have an A4S that has major issues
in the traps and I cant find the problem (IE I opened them and cant
find anything) SOOO I have a new A4S coming.

Has anyone taken an old 3 elem tribander and converted it to 6 meter
monobander using the direct connect.

Any Issues.

Would a 4 elem be better since its a long boom ?

I'm pretty sure I know the answers. Just want to confirm and see if
there is any reason not to direct connect rather than through a
hairpin or a gamma match.
