Minimal EPCs?

I always worry that I am blundering these too. However, I also wonder if there is really that much difference between Blue in your position playing a 51 as 5/off 3/2 or 6/off (I'd probably choose the second, but I don't know why). Personally, it seems like bearoff errors are rare and pale in comparison to other silly cube-related things I do, but of course, every little bit of equity helps!
I know that the 753 position is what I am supposed to shoot for when I am bearing in because it has minimal wastage. Do people also know EPC-minimizing positions for a given number of pips? e.g. if I have 10 checkers and 50 pips, do I want them on 432100 or 343000? Maybe reference positions like this would be useful, so that one can shoot for them along the way.
I apologize for the fact that this post in no way answers your question.
