I briefly looked at 6/3 5/3, creating bad 3s and 2s for White, but it doesn't gain on many rolls relative to the other plays. 7/4 7/5 gives back 53 and 52; 8/3 gives back 63. It doesn't look worth the lost flexibility for those few rolls.
I prefer 8/3 to 7/4 7/5. If we clear the bar point, 66 and 55 are great rolls for White, in addition to his other 5s. 8/3 gives him only 6s to escape, and we will often pick up the fleeing checker as it comes around. With White having 5 checkers behind a 5-prime, and 2 away from the leading edge, there's little risk from this play, and it should win more gammons. It's also a bit more flexible, putting spares everywhere.
8/3
