Boxcar Choices

I'm considering three moves; 21/9(2), 21/15(2) 10/4(2) and 21/3 21/15. I don't care for 21/3 21/15. It covers the 3, but leaves a blot in white's outfield where blue doesn't want to get hit, as white also brings down a builder by hitting there. If blue's blot on the 3 is hit white does nothing more than that. Playing 21/15(2) 10/4(2) makes the four point, and starts to bring home the back checkers, but it becomes difficult to safely clear the back points then. 21/9(2) doesn't make any additional inner board point, but it brings the back checkers around in one roll, and provides a landing spot for the mid point. Moreover, blue creates a broken 5-prime, which is not bad. My play would be 21/9(2).
