If you are hiring the work done, I would ask for firm written bids. In many areas, there is no charge for a bid. I don't know if that's true where you are.
The rest of your questions may be governed by local code. If I were using copper clad ground rods, I would have no reservation against direct burial of solid #6 CU. I would choose a depth and path that protects from damage. But I risk giving you advise that local code would over rule.
