Making the five-point board looks weakest. 13/1*(2) would be my choice if Black's board were weaker because then we could complete the closeout by hitting loose with wild abandon. But here, if Black hits a return shot he may be able to cash instantly. It doesn't look that easy to bring everything home safely after 13/1*(2), so it must cost a fair percentage of wins compared to the six-prime. Black can't anchor so it's very tough for him to survive the six-prime. We can slot the front of our prime and it requires quite a parlay for Black to be able to hit us and win the priming battle. I would make the six-prime. It would be an interesting exercise to play around with weakening Black's forward position to see where the crossover point between blitzing and priming occurs.

By the way, Neil Kazaross has gone so far to say that "attack one, prime two" is a silly adage.
