What is the best recommended new version of Sibelius? I have 6 which won't work on my new Mac Catalina OS, as per other discussions, and my 8 (which I bought, disliked intensely and never used) has expired. I obviously want to retain all my 6 files and need something that will convert them without fuss. Any help and suggestions gratefully received!

There is only one option - Sibelius Ultimate. Be aware that anything else, like Sibelius or Sibelius First, are cut down versions and won't do the job.

All later 'full' versions of Sibelius will open files created in V6. You can then edit and improve them, using the features of the newer version, then save them But the only one you can now buy is Sibelius Ultimate.
