Setting up a COM port to control the flex is pretty easy. So if you really like the interface that HRD Rig Control provides your only choice is to configure a COM port using SmartSDR CAT and then configure Rig Control to connect to that.
It also knows how to configure and launch multiple instances of DM780 for you at the push of a button. It works particularly well with HRD Logbook because it will follow your TX slice rather than sticking to just slice A. It's HRD IP implementation offers more options than the other choices (including HRD Rig Control). It's focus is on making it easy to configure and launch other third party applications to work with the Flex 6000 radios. It's still in a rapid development phase with a new release every couple of weeks, sometimes more often. It's a program that I've been developing over the past couple of months. It can coordinate amps, ATUs, rotators, and other bit of hardware with your 6500 as well as perform quite a few other tricks. DDutil, even if you dont use it for it's implementation of the HRD IP protocol has a lot of functionality that you might find useful. It's been around for a while, is light weight, implements the protocol and works. However, many folks choose to skip the use of HRD Rig Control and instead use a third party program that implements the HRD IP protocol, then they configure their HRD components to connect to that.
You can use SmartSDR CAT to create a virtual serial port and let HRD Rig Control connect to that just like it would any conventional radio. There are quite a few options for connecting HRD to your flex.
