I have never used a pusher .......... but unlike a rear blade that rolls the snow away, so the load is semi constant, a pushers load gets to the point where the weight will over run the grip.
The type of snow, the amount of snow changes the load obviously - you have chains on tractor? If grip is a going to be a concern, I would use the 60".
Another thought - if you buy the 66 and then find you cannot hold grip, you will have to work inside those limits every time you push snow - if you get the 60, you will make a few more passes to cover the same distance.
Driveways are typically 10' wide depending - I will say the 60" will do the job just fine. What is the cost difference between the two models?

The cost difference is only $100. Maybe not a lot, but I am finding my implement and even tractor cost are creeping up and up. My finite budget for tractor fun is starting to come into play. An even bigger cost savings would be excluding a back drag, but I do think I want that. An extra pass will take care of a 12" shorter pusher. Not back drag might mean getting a real shovel out. Yuck.
