Regarding using 6x6 versus 4x6 posts: The post is sized to support the weight of the building. 4x6 posts seem to be standard for 24 foot wide buildings, but 30 foot buildings go to 6x6. Obviously there's nothing wrong with using heavier posts than necessary, other than it gets harder to set the post the bigger it is.
Although the posts will have slightly greater resistance to wind loads if the narrow side faces the outside, the building really doesn't rely on the shear strength of the posts for wind resistance. The structure of the building is basically a big truss, and wind forces are distributed around the building by the siding, girts, bracing and roof trusses.
