Default wiring a outside hot tub

NEC requires 6/3 with ground, GFCI protected, no disconnect at tub location
for single family dwelling, but if you install one, it must be 5 feet away
from tub. GFCI protected outlet for general use, must be installed between 5
and 10 feet from tub. Anything conductive that's within 5 feet of tub must
be bonded together and to tubs grounding system

ps.com...
I have a 12/240v hot tub with a 50 amp breaker in my disconnect box.
What I need to do now is wire the disconnect box to my main box that
is in my basement. What wire do I need? or can I use the same
disconnect box as my a/c unit that is about 6 feet away?
