13/8, 6/5 looks natural given that you have to leave a lot of shots regardless. This leaves 22 shots at one blot. Good distribution and reasonable chances at covering if missed.

8/2* gives White deuces plus {1-1, 4-1, 5-1}, 17 shots at one blot. Strips the 8-point; doesn't bring a builder down from the midpoint; starts a marginal point.

6/1*, 8/7 looks clever at first, leaving aces plus {2-5, 4-5, 5-5, 4-3}, a total of 19 shots and two blots. Many of the same downsides as 8/2*.

13/7 leaves 6's and 5's plus {4-2, 3-3, 3-2}, a total of 25 shots at one blot. Starts a good point and brings down a builder.

Looks pretty close on the downside so I'll go for the best upside -- 13/8, 6/5.
