Yup the #6 wire and the sub panel (50 amp) U can take it to go!

The #4 wire and 70 amp sub panel, I would prefer because the AC is 30 amp it self!!
I told him that I was turning my garage into a "man cave" with a 220V AC and a few large TVs, kegerator, etc..............this ain't rocket science, bro.
And BTW, what do you need a 30 amp mini-split for? That's pretty fugging huge.
Another reason to go #4, you can handle up to a 90 amp breaker. Room for upgrades,

If your running 220 then each wire can draw 70 amps no problem That means a 70 amp 2 pole breaker can draw up to 140 amps you just need to spread the amps over each hot leg and make sure you dont exceed 70 amp on either side of you sub panel when loading up the breakers.
Not sure if your agreeing or disagreeing,,, # 4 is rated up to 90 amps, meaning you can install # 4 wire on a 90 amp breaker
