The main thing is to ensure that the gutters have a proper slope toward the downspouts. Also, if you eliminate a downspout, I don't think using a larger gutter will help very much to prevent overflowing. The 6 inch gutters would be more appropriate if you had a very steep sloped roof, which is not typical in The Villages.
Thanks for the feedback I think I will be going with the 5" gutter
