OtB, without someone tapping me on the shoulder or clearing his throat, I'd very likely play 20/14 without seeing an alternative. Here I will appeal to Quiz Factor.

Is dillying right here? 20/16, 6/4 creates more diversity for both homeboard building but also potentially making a 6 easier to play next turn.

Now for 'outside the box' (well, most players' boxes, I'll hypothesize): 13/9, 13/11. Both the 5-pt and 7-pt would be great additions. After this play (assuming neither checker gets hit) 14/36 will make the 5pt, an additional 5/36 make the barpoint, 65 makes either the 3pt or 9pt and {62,52,32?} the 9-pt. 53 makes the 3pt. 54 makes the 11-pt. {51,44,55,66} remain and most of those make progress.

13/9, 13/11 (with the aide of QF).
