After 13/7, I looked at 22/21, 8/7, and 6/5. OTB, I'd play 8/7; I like it better than 22/21 because, if White is going to POH or hit loose, I'd rather it be on his 3 point than his 4 point. On the other side of the board, slotting our 5 point from our heavy 6 pt is great when it works, but loses a lot of pips in a close race when it doesn't. I'm not sure the costs are worth the rewards. So, 13/7 8/7 is my vote (but I hope the slot wins b/c it could make for a more interesting game :).
If you were asking about how cube decisions should be handled: I think we can start with the assumption that most all of us here are playing the OLM to try to improve our bg and to have a enjoyable experience much more than we are trying to win the OLM. Given that assumption, I think Kit's OLM procedure works pretty well. Here where we vote by posts, we can vote for both the cube decision and the checker play in our post. If the majority vote to double, then re-roll. If someone doesn't mention the cube in his/her post, just assume s/he is not doubling. I hope most all of us will try not to take the roll into account when deciding on our cube decision.
But what happens when the checker play is an obvious next but the cube decision is not? I guess you could take it upon yourself to stop (perhaps taking into consideration bot info, as Chuck suggested)?
