UniFi - Selecting channel and channel width

I have a UAP-AC-LITE, I'm not having any trouble with it but just wanting to make sure I have it as optimized as possible.

It is the only AP in a small standalone house in a suburban neighbourhood. I have a mix of 2.4GHz and 5GHz capable devices.

Below are the results of an RF scan:

2.4Ghz is set to autochannel HT20. It has set it to channel 6.

5GHz is set to autochannel VHT80. It has set it to channel 36. I intentionally changed this from VHT40 to VHT80 to increase throughput as the lower end of the 5GHz spectrum seems to be pretty empty.

Questions:

Looking at the 2.4GHz scan results, is 6 really the best channel to be on since 5 and 7 are clearly being utilized?

Would anything be gained by changing 2.4GHz to HT40? Would any throughput improvements likely be offset by increased interference? is HT40 inconsiderate to other 2.4GHz users?

Given that the low end of the 5GHz appears to be empty, is there any disadvantage in my using VHT80?
