My video cards are 1060( 6 GB) for 5 years now, the hashrate on Ethereum continues to fall with each new epoch, because the company NVIDIA does not solve this problem, as the company AMD did.
If you are not satisfied with mining calculators, you will have to search for coins for mining yourself.

why would a 6gb card start to slow down when the dags not even 4gbs yet.?

As the DAG gets larger and larger it's naturally going to occupy more and more cells/chips in the memory. Depending on how nVidia coded access to the memory you can see progressive decay of hashrate as seen in the 1070s which are now down to 25-27MH/s when they were doing 30 before. The 1080/1080Ti/1070Ti do not have this issue. My 6GB 1060s have slowed down from 24MH/s to 21MH/s on ETH dagger hashimoto but run max speed on UBIQ.

To answer the OP - wait for ETC to readjust the DAG size in a few weeks.

The best option for the 3GB card is to sell it while you can still get above $100 for the 3GB models.

For 6GB cards as noted above WhatToMine is pretty good but shave off about 10-20% of earnings due to profit switch miners and underestimation of fees, stales, uncles, etc.

He means if its 1060 6gb cards you can mine eth or etc....and many other choices but those are going to be the best earners right now.  If its 3gb 1060 your choices get less.  And the advise for whattomine is spot on...just note if it works on 3gb or 6gb.

Firstly, you don't include the RAM (3GB or 6GB) of the GTX 1060, the rig can still on Ethereum classic, it should be the best bet and you don't provide the capacity of your mining rig. I will advise you to visit what to mine where you'll find all the answers to your question.
Hope that's enough to help.
