In the first one, I'd play 9/5 8/5, defending against 55 and 66 next roll.

In the second one, maybe I'd play 8/4 with the four. It gives nicer distribution, and being hit leaves little risk.

In the last, I might play 7/5. That should start the bearoff a little earlier than when playing inside, and increase the number of (back)gammons won. It also makes 55 and 66 play well next roll. The risk is being hit from the 16 "joker", but white seems far from being able to contain a hit checker.
