Keep in mind unlike a light switch ( or on/off motor switch) you won't be switching under load which is how the amp rating is calculated. A closed switch can carry much more current than it's switching rating. There will be no surge of current and the arcing that occurs. I imagine it will only be a few mA to get everything in standby. When it comes to actual switching, DC is much harder on contacts than AC though.I want to put a switch on my quad so I don't have to unplug so often. The switch says 6 amps at 110 volts. Will it work with my 20 or 30 amp ESCs?

It also depends what exactly you want to accomplish. If you simply want to disable the quad and are using only one ESC BEC (or standalone UBEC) for your 5V to power the FCB, you could use an inexpensive small switch (FCBs use very little current to initialize). And with no power to the FCB the RX is also 'OFF'.

Best place to get them is here, been some issues with the Banggood Flips. Quite a selection too.I am using the Naze 32 clone
That is correct, as there are only 3 possible axis's in a 3D plain they are combining the two sensors to make their number 'bigger'.I think the toys are just combining the 2 types.
The hobby grade FCBs have 3-Axis Gyro plus 3-Axis Accelerometer.
Maybe?
