RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_6 are just tags on the same code repository. Think of them as snapshots made at a particular time. (That's not quite true, but close enough.) Regardless of which one you choose, you will get all of the sources you need. The only difference is that RELENG_4 will give you sources that include all recent changes to the -STABLE branch, and RELENG_4_6 will give you sources that include only security-related changes since 4.6 was released.
