Assuming that the cpu are both, same lithography (14nm from 2017) and same clock speeds (3.20 GHz base, 3.90 boost).
Would a 4 core 8 thread out preform a 6 core 6 threaded cpu?
To simplify, which is more optimal for performance, core count or threads?

I would like to start with that none of those CPU are ideal.
Knowing that...
It wouldnt make much difference, modern Minecraft server focus solely on single thread performance.

^ 100% correct
Clock speed, core count matter little to none when it comes to Minecraft servers. You really want to focus on IPC

Would a single threaded benchmark score be adequate enough to determine a Cpu’s IPC?
(Like a Passmark single threaded benchmark)

given enough of samples, yes, but in your case, you are picking square tire vs triangle tire for your car. (both aint ideal)

Well, i have to be realistic with what i can obtain for low prices (to stay within a Ruthless budget), i cant expect to Obtain an Optiplex 5080 (2x8GB ram, i5-10500T) all the time for cheap or in bulk/mass.
Also I’m trying to not blow the breaker, I only have two 120V “15”A sockets to work with.

I recommend using a host specialized for Minecraft. This will be the most cost effective way going long term.
We have a few vetted hosting provider in #service-providers if you are interested.

Building on the other answers here, it really depends on what you're gonna do with your server.
Software has no knowledge of cores; it only has any information on thread count. So there's really no reason to even look beyond that. You have an 8 thread cpu and a 6 thread cpu.
Minecraft uses a thread for the main tick loop (which is where lag usually happens and is why single core perf matters), and multiple threads for chunk gen, lighting engine, disk i/o, and networking.
So either one is gonna be fine, but only for very small servers with low performance impact. Do not expect 20 friends to play ATM10 on either of those.
