Holding Game: Which Point to Break?

Clearing the 14 leaves a double shot, so I doubt that is correct. Likewise, clearing the six seems anti-positional.
Clearing the 8 leaves no shots, but it would be nice to keep the 8 as a landing point.
13/4 leaves 17 shots if I counted right. Plus is buries a checker behind the anchor.
13/9 13/8 leaves 12 shots and gives us a chance to make another blocking point.
So, it's between the safe 8/4 8/3 and the bold 13/9 13/8. Pay now or pay later? Magriel's safe v bold criteria point to safe, so I'll clear the 8. Without much conviction.
