How to use a small electric motor controller?

I would like to have a small electric motor turn exactly 6 rotations each time a press a switch (button). Should I use a servo or motor? What type of motor controller should I use?
Is it possible to have a power switch that you can adjust how much power comes through?

I think there are different options.

So far as I am aware RC servos typically turn only a fraction of a rotation.

A small gear head motor could be used but you would need some feedback to know when to stop the rotation.

A stepper motor may be more straight forward for you (especially since you say you need “exactly 6 rotations”).
