I live in NH and my basement is below ground.
Should I be doing 2X6 framming for R 19 insulation or 2X4 insulation for R 11 insulation.
I was planning to do 2X6 framming and then heat the basement (when required) via pedestral space/rooom heaters.

Best way IMO, is to glue 2" EPS foam panel to the concrete wall, then fasten strapping/furring through that with glue and tapcons or the GRK concrete screw they call Caliburn
Then the SR on the strapping.
This way, you get better insulation that can handle any dampness it might be exposed to, and only use 3-1/4" space in from the crete surface to finished surface
