I’m gonna be getting a few Rasta zoas soon, only about 6 polyps but was just wondering where people think would be best to place them ?

Rastas grow pretty quickly, so I'd place them somewhere relatively isolated. Once you start getting more zoas, you'll find which ones are faster growers and need restraint and which need their own space to grow before getting overgrown by others.

FYI, nuclear green palys and pandoras aka fairy dust palys are super fast growers and will happily overtake your others.

If I start with about 6 polyps how long do you think it would take to get to about 12 in good light and good parameters ?

Good question. I have no idea. My zoas behave differently from time to time: sometimes growing at a great clip, sometimes melting away even though in my mind nothing has changed (so move them somewhere else and see if they like it more). I wouldn't be surprised to see them double in a few weeks.
