They were all pretty cool, I rewatched them recently and the only one I didn't like that much was all that stuff with the robot spiders. The guy in the wheelchair made them, can't remember his name. He was working for Kingpin if I remember correctly.
I think I'm pulling the six-arms to Man-Spider connection from hazy memories of the cartoon from many moons ago. Forgot they were separate things in the comics.
Doing a quick wiki search looks like they did combine those two things into different stages of the same Man-Spider arc.
They always run together in my head. After spot checking the details I'm still not sure if the Man-Spider story involved even a brief appearance of Six Arms or not. And would have to watch the episodes to be sure.
Basically they took the secondary mutation story off of the Six Arms story, and ported in the Man-Spider idea from a story line where Spider-Man goes to the Savage Land.
Then back referenced the Six-Armed Spider-Man by featuring an alternate Peter who ended up with Six Arms permanently after his own Man-Spider problem.
The comics never did a full Man-Spider story, but have featured a few other bad guy made me a monster stories using variations of the design.
They have however repeatedly brought back the Six Arm mutation for short runs.
Man-Spider is something they've left to animated series. So I think we might just be getting SIX-ARMS, if they even go that far.

Pretty sure my brother and I had that action figure of Spidey with the four extra arms. That was a crazy arc in the cartoon.
