I sent an offer to six buyers at the same time for the same item. If three buyers respond, one counters higher than the others, will the lower offers be declined automatically by eBay or is it up to me to pick and choose which to accept and which to decline?

It depends on how you have set it up. Sellers have the ability to set up Best offers with an amount on the offers that Ebay will automatically decline the offer. I would say if that hasn't already happened, you likely don't have that set up.
Accept the offer that you like the best. Leave the others alone for now. See if the buyer accepts the offer. If they decline, accept the next offer you like better than the others
You are very lucky this happened. I don't hear this happening very often. Congratulations!!!!

The first offer to be accepted wins. The others don't matter.
As @mam98031 suggested, if you have some auto-accept limits in place, eBay may do this for you, but in that case, you would not have such a multitude from which to select. Pick the one you want.

You can go back and forth with offers/counteroffers until a buyer accepts one of yours or you accept one of the buyers'* (or someone does a Buy It Now) and the listing ends (assuming a single item listing, for multiple item listings it will continue at least as long as you have inventory on eBay's books). When the listing ends Best Offer (and offers from sellers) is over and all offers still on the table immediately expire.
*Including any auto-accept you have set up.
