If we can take off an odd number of checkers, we get to an even number remaining. Playing 5/1 means 11 takes off 3, and 55 still takes off 3. Also, a missing 2 can be played 6/4, which could be useful since 2s are likely to be an issue. You can still take off 2 checkers with 22 if you leave a checker on the 6 point, and you don't waste a pip with a six.

Of these observations, the only one that makes sense to me is that a 2 can be played 6/4, so that the 6/2 5/1 play will tend to be better if Blue rolls too many 4's.

Everything else you mentioned plays just as well or better after 6/2(2).
