Not specific enough, betting how much on each?

Roughly 4%, enough to not split hairs about it, it's a big house edge. Placing both the 6 and 8, plus field action puts you in a place to lose pretty quick. Consider playing pass, and adding come or don't come bets if you want more action.

Combined HE% per roll will be between 0.46% for no field, only six and eight place bets, and 2.78% if you bet only the field.
If you bet the same amount on each of the six, eight, and field, the edge per roll is easy to remember.
It's 1.23456789%
Who'd a thunk it?

I get (10/22x28)-(12/22X24)/24= 1.51% HE for the combined Place 6 and Place 8 and no Field.
How do you get .46%?

( .20 / 13.20 ) / ( 36 / 11 )
You can't get a combined edge without converting to edge per roll.
The average edge for $6 six plus $6 eight plus $6 field is just a weird number though.
( ( .20 / 13.20 ) / ( 36 / 11 ) + ( .20 / 13.20 ) / ( 36 / 11 ) + ( 1/36 ) ) / 3 = .01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789

So, on average, this HE of this system is about 3 times higher than the HE of the PL? Well, then...

Yeah, the field is a great bet if you're in a hurry! Generally speaking, the field costs exactly 6 times as much as the place bet on the six or eight, and roughly 6 times as much as the passline bet (in both cases considering the edge per roll).
If you want to make a single bet and have it resolve quickly and leave, the field is a better approach than placing the six or eight and waiting for a seven in my opinion. But both strategies employ the exact same cost. You're just less likely to come out with a notable profit on the place bets. Plus you have to wait longer (6 rolls) for the way that people make this bet (until the seven -- nobody comes down on a win on the six and eight in general, that I watch).
If you want your money to last (if you want to actually PLAY the game rather than just take a single risk), the bets that last longer are the better ways to stretch out your losses over a longer period of time.

False. Combined edge can be figured and expressed per resolution or per any metric the user prefers.

0.46% is the edge expressed per roll.
Your numbers look a little strange but the end result of 1.51% is correct. It's the edge expressed per dollar of action. Ordinarily the HE of craps bets are figured per resolution (winning and losing outcomes). However, when figuring multiple simultaneous bets, the term resolution doesn't always apply to the full amount wagered unless all bets resolve at the same time. Because some bets might resolve at different times and different rates, it makes more sense to figure the edge per dollar of action. Action being the amount wagered which was directly responsible for an outcome.
Think about it ... craps is about the rolls, but is it really EVERY roll you're so concerned about? When you bet Place6, are you worried about how many 5's the shooter will throw? Aren't you more concerned about the 6's and 7's which will produce actual wins and losses (resolutions)? And what do you REALLY care about that? Isn't it your money that you really care about when wins and losses occur? Aren't you MOST interested in how those wins and losses relate to the money that you wager?
Well then, what good is a HE that expresses outcome in terms of non-resolving rolls that you don't even care about? A $5 Place5 loses less per roll than a $5 Field (3x12), so should you prefer the Place5 over the Field? If you're hung up on loss per roll you might think so. However, if you care more about your money, then you might be interested to know that the Place5 loses more per dollar of action.
