Against a crunched opponent

Another neglected position, I see.

There's a tension here between wanting to keep the back checker where it is for more outfield coverage since we're behind in the race, and wanting to safety it because our opponent still has a four-point board. I think it's probably more important to maintain contact than to get out of dodge. For instance we'll be quite happy to have stayed back if White rolls 51 next, or actually any 5 other than 52.

If I'm staying back, then I don't think it makes sense to leave any other shots. So I'd look at 6/4 6/3, 13/10 6/2, and 13/8. I would try 6/4 6/3 trying to build my board in preparation for hitting a shot.
