I'd just play 24/20(2) 13/9(2) here. After that you have a few joker rolls and a 4-1 to make the 5 point, and some attacking sequences if your opponent steps up, but the main line seems to be to bring the midpoint checkers down for more firepower, and that seems fine -- a clear and strong follow-up. Since 6/2*(2) leaves you only one spare in the zone plus the spareless 8 and 7 points, you can't expect to have much of an attack, and so again the main line would seem to be bringing two builders down from the midpoint, but without the strength and safety of a made 4-prime. 8/4(2) blocks nearly nothing and puts all spares stacked on the 6 and 13 points -- count the ways you can expect to improve your position by much next roll, and see that there aren't many.
