I know baker makes one but does anyone else? Are they better than swapping out the transmission?

Not sure what companies are making 6 speed gearsets for 5 speed cases anymore, I have never used one.
I`m a fan of the original equipment 5 speed unit, which is a great transmission.
You are not going to be swapping an entire transmission to go to a six speed, you will need to replace the gearset in your transmission case.

Besides Baker, HD makes an SE 6 speed for the 5s. It might be a Jims. Jims also makes one or used to. Ultima is another.
I'm with Dan tho. Might use a 6 speed in a big motor evo softail tho.

My motor definitely isnt stock. I know that extra gear would be nice cruising down the interstate.
