Astraweb lists about 3 news servers and then 3 SSL servers. On set up of sabnzbd do you add all 6 servers. Will sabnzbd then use all 6 to download from or should you just select 2 a primary and a back up?

Use the closest to you, either european or US-based.
The choise between plain and SSl is up to your sense of security
or your hope to thwart your ISP's traffic shaping.
You could setup the closest server as primary and the remote one as backup.
SSL may carry a speed penalty depending on the power of your system,
embedded systems with a low-end CPU will be affected most.
