Spoiler
Once more I'll argue for doing the riskiest thing (clearing the fivepoint) ASAP, which means stripping it with 5/3 5/2. It's still only a four point board that el_micho has, but it's getting more dangerous to be hit every turn now.
Spoiler
With only 2 checkers on the 3 point ripping one off leaves us seriously odd-ended. I haven't counted shot-leaving rolls, but there must be a bunch. 5/3 5/2 looks much safer.
