Who makes the brightest, most spill and throw led drop in for a 4-6D Maglite? I see the Terralux 300M and Genes 3 Led models and then the electrolumens P7. If I wanted a wall of light to light up everything at say 75 yards... which would be the one?

Your question is somewhat contradictory; in order for a light to have a bright hotspot, it has to be a thrower - a thrower will have very little spill. A wall-of-fire type light will have lots of spill and a broad, not as bright hotspot.
The three drop-ins you listed have very different beam profiles; the Elektrolumens P7 is throw-biased and has a decent hotspot with a broad spill. The TerraLUX TLE-300 uses collimator lenses and throws a wide, giant hotspot with no spill at all. And the Malkoff Triple has a large hotspot and very broad spill, close to the P7 but wider overall.
There's also the hotwire option, which means since you're already modifying your Mag, you can set it up however you want, for throw or flood.
But you'll have to decide which you prefer and to what degree, throw or flood.

The Elektrolumens P7 3D Mag powered by a trio of Li-Ion D cells would be your winner then.

But how about Elektro lumens 3000+ lumens dropin for Maglite 6D?
Is there any brighter than this? Unfortunately it isn't still offered at the website.

Pretty much all the builders here have multi-emitter lights that would blow away the aforementioned drop-ins/lights, but you're looking at $400+ and some remarkably compromised runtimes. The Elektrolumens P7 Mag is $130 complete, but if cost is no object, there are plenty of other options..

I believe you're referrng to the wall of fire, while exceedingly bright it's also short range, there's no throw to speak of. At 75 yards I think a P7 with medium orange peel reflector or the malkoff triple is your best bet, maybe see if you can get one custom made in a warm tint if you need high contrast more than sheer output.
