Which prime?

My first instinct is to make the 3pt since making a strong board is generally the right idea when there's still this much contact, and moreover a gap on the 3pt could be a thorn in the side for a long time. However, I can see an argument for making the bar point because even after White rolls a 2, she still needs a 5 to hop out. Blue is in no danger of being counterprimed so the main concern is whether he'll dance long enough for White to escape. Although leaving two blots nominally means that Blue could have two checkers on the bar, it's not that likely an outcome.

I've almost talked myself into making the bar point but I'm going to go with my initial instinct of 9/3 5/3.
