A backgammon position

I would make the 5pt in Position 1. It's only 2 shots and it uses spares very efficiently.

I'm not sure what I would have played in Positions 2 and 3 OTB because putting them side by side introduces a lot of QF. QF suggests that the computer makes the 5pt in one of them but not the other. Making the 5pt leaves more shots in Position 2, and making the bar tends to block a checker on the 24pt better than a checker on the 23pt. So I will go with making the bar in Position 2 and the 5pt in Position 3.
