So long as you don't wear glasses, you should be ok with the M6HM and the
35.  I use a 35 on mine all the time, though I do prefer that body with the
50 and 90.  I'll echo others here in saying that I really enjoy using the
Summicron 50 with the .85x viewfinder.  It's a perfect combination.

If I could only have one M6 body, it would be the standard M6, since I
mostly use a 35mm lens.  The M6 makes a great second body.
