I have a web server that accepts IPv6 and IPv4 connections, and I would prefer that IPV6 be the default. However I am at a loss for how to correctly handle setting up the DNS for this.

Is the solution to simply make identical A and AAAA records for each domain/subdomain? I.E.:

x.mysite.com. 1800 IN A 192.xxx.xxx.xxx

x.mysite.com. 1800 IN AAAA 2604:xxxx:0:xxxx::xxxx:xxxx

Or should I be using SRV records? Something else?
I have googled and googled but cannot seem to figure out the answer to this, and it seems to be something that would be fairly common.

The correct solution is indeed to just provide an A and an AAAA record for the hostname. IPv6 is preferred by clients by default, usually with a Happy Eyeballs implementation. The client device chooses the protocol. You cannot influence that, only provide both addresses.
